\[ \frac{2}{12} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{19}{24} = 0.791\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{12}\) and \(\frac{5}{8}\) is \(24\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{12} + \frac{5}{8} &= \frac{2 \cdot 2}{12 \cdot 2} + \frac{5 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{4 + 15}{24} \\ &= \frac{19}{24} \end{aligned} \]
