\[ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \]

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