To find the total distance that Jim covered, we can break it down into two parts: the distance he walked and the distance he jogged.
1. **Distance Jim walked**: \( \frac{3}{8} \) km
2. **Distance Jim jogged**: Since he jogged \( \frac{1}{2} \) km longer than the distance he walked, we first need to convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) km to eighths to add it to \( \frac{3}{8} \) km:
\[
\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{8}
\]
Thus, the distance Jim jogged is:
\[
\text{Distance jogged} = \frac{3}{8} \text{ km} + \frac{4}{8} \text{ km} = \frac{7}{8} \text{ km}
\]
3. **Total distance covered**: Now, we add the distance he walked and the distance he jogged:
\[
\text{Total distance} = \frac{3}{8} \text{ km} + \frac{7}{8} \text{ km} = \frac{10}{8} \text{ km} = \frac{5}{4} \text{ km} = 1.25 \text{ km}
\]
Therefore, the total distance that Jim covered is **1.25 km**.

Therefore, the total distance that Jim covered is **1.25 km**.
