A. 15/32 -inches
B. 13/32 - inches
C. 5/16 - inches
D. 3/8 - inches

Respuesta :

The socket that has the smallest measurement is 5/16.

In order to know the socket with the smallest measurement, we can change the fractions to percentages and this will be:

5/16 = 5/16 × 100 = 31.25%

3/8 = 3/8 × 100 = 37.5%

13/32 = 13/32 × 100 = 40.625%

15/32 = 15/32 × 100 = 46.875%

From the percentages, then the smallest measurement is 5/16

In conclusion, the correct option is C.
