Answer:
31/24 or 1 7/24
Explanation:
1 3/8 in an improper fraction is 11/8:
1 times the denominator (8)= 8, add the numerator (3), and get 11
then keep the original denominator
multiply 11/8 by 3 to get 33/24
multiply 1/12 by 2 to get 2/24
now you have the same denominator and can subtract
33/24-2/24= 31/24
