\[ \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{7}{24} = 0.291\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{8}\) and \(\frac{1}{6}\) is \(24\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{6} &= \frac{1 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 3} + \frac{1 \cdot 4}{6 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{3 + 4}{24} \\ &= \frac{7}{24} \end{aligned} \]
