The problem in the image is:

\[
\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{12}
\]

### Solution:

To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 12 is 24.

1. Convert each fraction to have the denominator 24:
   - \(\frac{3}{8}\) can be rewritten as \(\frac{3 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{9}{24}\)
   - \(\frac{1}{12}\) can be rewritten as \(\frac{1 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{2}{24}\)

2. Now add the fractions:
   \[
   \frac{9}{24} + \frac{2}{24} = \frac{9 + 2}{24} = \frac{11}{24}
   \]

So, the answer is:

\[
\frac{11}{24}
\]
