Question

How much larger is a 5/8 inch socket than a 17/32 inch socket?

Answer 1

a 5/8 inch socket is 50% bigger than a 17/32 inch socket

Explanation:

17 - 5 = 12

32 - 8 = 24

Then divide to find the percent;

12 / 24

you would get 0.5 or 50%

so, a 5/8 inch socket is 50% bigger than a 17/32 inch socket

Answer 2

3/32

Explanation:

5/8 = (5 x 4)/(8 x 4) = 20/32

20/32 - 17/32 = 3/32
