To convert the fractions into decimals:
1. **For the fraction \( \frac{3}{8} \)**:
\[
\frac{3}{8} = 3 \div 8 = 0.375
\]
2. **For the mixed number \( 2 \frac{5}{8} \)**:
First, convert the fraction \( \frac{5}{8} \) to a decimal, which is \( 0.625 \).
Then, add 2:
\[
2 + 0.625 = 2.625
\]
So, the conversions are:
- \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
- \( 2 \frac{5}{8} = 2.625 \)
