To find the difference between two measurements, you subtract the smaller measurement from the larger one. In this case, you want to find the difference between 5/8 inch and 7/8 inch.

To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. In this case, the denominators are already the same, so you can subtract the numerators directly.

The calculation would be: (7/8) - (5/8) = (7 - 5)/8 = 2/8.

However, it is important to simplify the result. In this case, both 2 and 8 can be divided by 2. Simplifying the fraction gives you: 1/4.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 1/4 inch.
