The problem you're solving is:

\[
\frac{3}{8} + 0.5
\]

### Steps to Solve:
1. Convert 0.5 into a fraction. We know that:
   \[
   0.5 = \frac{1}{2}
   \]
2. Find a common denominator between \(\frac{3}{8}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\). The least common denominator (LCD) between 8 and 2 is 8.
   
   Convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) to have a denominator of 8:
   \[
   \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{8}
   \]
3. Now, add the two fractions:
   \[
   \frac{3}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \frac{7}{8}
   \]

### Final Answer:
\[
\frac{3}{8} + 0.5 = \frac{7}{8}
\]
