To find the fraction of her money that Chrissy spent, we need to add the fractions representing the portions she spent on paint and paper.
The fraction she spent on paint is 1/5, and the fraction she spent on paper is 1/3.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.
Multiplying 1/5 by 3/3, we get 3/15.
Multiplying 1/3 by 5/5, we get 5/15.
Adding these fractions, 3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15.
Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money.
