$$5 / 8 - ( - 1 / 8 )$$

$\frac{3}{4}=0.75$

The opposite of $-\frac{1}{8}$ is $\frac{1}{8}$.

$$\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{8}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+1}{8}$$

Add $5$ and $1$ to get $6$.

$$\frac{6}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{6}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{3}{4}$$

$\frac{3}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.75$
