19/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are looking for the fraction he spend, you have to add 3/8 and 5/12 with one another. To do this you have to change those fractions to have the same denominators. so you multiply 3/8 by 3/3 to get 9/24 and you multiply 5/12 by 2/2 to get 10/24. You then add 9/24 with 10/24 to get 19/24. Since you cannot simplify this further, 19/24 is your answer.
