$$1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}$$

$\frac{7}{8}=0.875$

Convert $1$ to fraction $\frac{4}{4}$.

$$\frac{4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since $\frac{4}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4-1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Subtract $1$ from $4$ to get $3$.

$$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $8$ is $8$. Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{8}$ to fractions with denominator $8$.

$$\frac{6}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since $\frac{6}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{8}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{6+1}{8}$$

Add $6$ and $1$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{8}$$

$\frac{7}{2 ^ {3}} = 0.875$
