Answer:

<u>Tina spent almost all her paycheck on the trip and buying new clothes for the trip. She spent 39/40 of her paycheck.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount spent by Tina on a trip to the beach = 3/5

Amount spent by Tina on new clothes = 3/8

2. What fraction of her paycheck did Tina spend on the trip and clothes together?

Total spent by Tina on the trip and new clothes = 3/5 + 3/8

Total spent by Tina on the trip and new clothes = 24/40 + 15/40 = 39/40

<u>Tina spent almost all her paycheck on the trip and buying new clothes for the trip. She spent 39/40 of her paycheck.</u>
