Answer:

Option C is correct

The most precise measurement is,
(2)/(32) in

Step-by-step explanation:

A numbers after the decimal point is a fraction of the number 1.

Therefore, more numbers you have after the decimal the smaller the fraction, and more precise that fraction will be.

Given:
(2)/(32) in ,
(3)/(12) in ,
(1)/(12) ft or
(1)/(36) yd

First convert :
(1)/(12) ft into inches

Use conversion: 1 ft = 12 inches

then,


(1)/(12) ft
\rightarrow
(1)/(12) * 12 in =1 in

Similarly, Convert
(1)/(36) yd into inches.

Use conversion: 1 yard = 36 inches

then,


(1)/(36) yd
\rightarrow
(1)/(36) * 36 in = 1 in.

Now, convert all the fraction
(3)/(32) in ,
(3)/(12) in , 1 in or 1 in. into decimal.


(2)/(32) in = 0.0625


(3)/(12) in = 0.25 in.

1 in.

1 in.

From the above only 0.0625 in. is the most precise.
