To determine how much of the pound of grapes Tyler has left, follow these steps:

1. **Total Grapes Purchased**:
   $$
   1 \text{ pound}
   $$

2. **Grapes Eaten on Monday**:
   $$
   \frac{3}{12} \text{ pounds}
   $$

3. **Grapes Eaten on Wednesday**:
   $$
   \frac{5}{12} \text{ pounds}
   $$

4. **Total Grapes Eaten**:
   $$
   \frac{3}{12} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ pounds}
   $$

5. **Grapes Remaining**:
   $$
   1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ pounds}
   $$

**Answer:** Tyler has $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of the pound of grapes left.
Tyler has $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of the pound of grapes left.
