#9/32# inches

Explanation:

To find the difference, we have to subtract both of the numbers.

However, we can't subtract either of them since they both have different denominators, therefore we multiply #3/4# so it could have the same denominator as #15/32#.

We multiply #3/4# by 8 on the top and bottom since 32 is the least common factor that both of the numbers have.

The new number should be #24/32# so we subtract #24/32-15/32# or just #24-15# in order to get 9.

We then place the denominator in order to get #9/32#.
