The Freeman family is barbecuing veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps in their local park. If 3/8 of the items barbecued are veggie burgers, and 1/3 of the items barbecued are corn cobs, what fraction of barbecued items are mushroom caps?

3/8 + 1/3 = 9/24 + 8/24 = 17/24 are burgers or corn
