To solve \( \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{4} \), we need a common denominator.

1. The least common denominator for \(8\) and \(4\) is \(8\).
2. Rewrite \( \frac{1}{4} \) with a denominator of \(8\):
   \[
   \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}
   \]
3. Now, add \( \frac{5}{8} \) and \( \frac{2}{8} \):
   \[
   \frac{5}{8} + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{7}{8}
   \]

So, \( \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{8} \).
