To add three eighths and five twelfths, we first need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24.

Now, we convert the fractions:

  • ( \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{9}{24} )
  • ( \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{10}{24} )

Now, we can add them: [ \frac{9}{24} + \frac{10}{24} = \frac{19}{24} ]

Thus, three eighths plus five twelfths equals ( \frac{19}{24} ).
