To find Elizabeth's share of the pocket money, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the total amount of pocket money:

The total amount of pocket money given for the week is £4.80.

2. Understand Elizabeth's share:

Elizabeth always gets \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the total pocket money.

3. Calculate Elizabeth's share:

To find Elizabeth's share, we multiply the total amount by Elizabeth's fraction of the share:
[tex]\[ \text{Elizabeth's share} = £4.80 \times \frac{3}{8} \][/tex]

4. Perform the multiplication:

We can break this down as follows:
[tex]\[ \text{Elizabeth's share} = 4.80 \times 0.375 \][/tex]

After performing the multiplication, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Elizabeth's share} = 1.80 \][/tex]

Therefore, Elizabeth's share of the pocket money for that week is £1.80.
