By taking the product between fractions, we can see that the friend bought (4 + 29/40)lb

How many pound of grapes bought the friend?

The friend bought 3/8 of (12 + 3/5) lb of grapes.

So we need to take the product between these two numbers, we will get:

G = (3/8)*(12 + 3/5) lb

G = (36/8 + 9/40) lb

Now we multiply and divide the first fraction by 5 so we have the same denominator:

G = (180/40 + 9/40) lb

G = (189/40) LB = (160/40 + 29/40)lb = (4 + 29/40)lb

Then we conclude that the friend bought (4 + 29/40)lb of grapes.
