Hello!

You already have the answer, but I'll show you how to get it:

Subtract 4 3/5 (That's his old height) from 5 3/8 (That's his new height):

5 3/8 - 4 3/5 = 0.625

Now you want to convert 0.625 to a fraction.

Simplify: 0.625 = 625/1000

And 625/1000 is equivalent to 5/8.

So, your answer is 5/8, and those were the steps to find it! ^^ I hope this was helpful! :)
