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

$\frac{11}{8}=1.375$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $8$ is $8$. Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ to fractions with denominator $8$.

$$\frac{6}{8}+\frac{5}{8}$$

Since $\frac{6}{8}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{6+5}{8}$$

Add $6$ and $5$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{11}{8}$$

$\frac{11}{2 ^ {3}} = 1\frac{3}{8} = 1.375$
