Answer: 7/64 inch is bigger by 1/64 inch difference

Explanation:

STEP ONE: Convert the denominators into Least Common Multiple (LCM)

LCM of 32 and 64:

First 3 multiples of 32: 32, 64, 96

First 3 multiples of 64: 64, 128, 192

Since 64 overlaps in both terms, 64 is the LCM of 32 and 64.

STEP TWO: Convert the fractions

3/32 = (3 × 2) / (32 × 2) = 6/64

7/64 = 7/64

STEP THREE: Compare the numerator to define the size of fractions

6 < 7, therefore, 6/64 < 7/64

7/64 - 6/64 = 1/64 inch

Hope this helps!! :)
