If you remove a total of 3 inches (due to margins) vertically, and 2 inches horizontally, you are left with a usable space of 63 square inches. The original space is 108 square inches. Therefore, you are using 63 out of 108 square inches or 63/108 of the space. If you simplify this fraction you are left with, 7/12 of the space being used.
