\[ \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{24} = \frac{7}{8} = 0.875 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{8}\) and \(\frac{6}{24}\) is \(24\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{24} &= \frac{5 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 3} + \frac{6 \cdot 1}{24 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{15 + 6}{24} \\ &= \frac{21}{24} \\&= \frac{7}{8} \end{aligned} \]
