$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}$$

$\frac{5}{8}=0.625$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $4$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{2}{4}+\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Since $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Add $2$ and $3$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{4}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $8$ is $8$. Convert $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ to fractions with denominator $8$.

$$\frac{10}{8}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Since $\frac{10}{8}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-5}{8}$$

Subtract $5$ from $10$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{8}$$

$\frac{5}{2 ^ {3}} = 0.625$
