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.
