If the year is 3/8 over, then the remaining fraction of the year is (1-3/8)=5/8
If the farmer plants the same amount every day, then in 5/8 of the year, the farmer plants 5/8*(3 2/3) = <<5/8*(3+2/3)=2 5/24>>2 5/24 acres. Answer: \boxed{2\frac{5}{24}}.
A farmer plants the same amount every day adding up to 3 2/3 acres at the end of the year. If the year is 3/8 over, how many acres has the farmer planet?

That is not correct
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's solve the problem correctly.
If the year is 3/8 over, then the fraction of the year that has passed is 1 - 3/8 = 5/8.
At the end of the year, the farmer has planted a total of 3 2/3 acres.
Let's represent the amount planted every day as x acres.
Since the farmer plants the same amount every day, the total amount planted in 5/8 of the year would be (5/8) * (3 2/3) = (5/8) * (11/3) = 55/24 acres.
Therefore, (55/24) acres have been planted so far. Answer: \boxed{55/24}.
