\[ \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{8}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{4} &= \frac{3 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 2}{4 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{3 + 2}{8} \\ &= \frac{5}{8} \end{aligned} \]
