Answer:

  0.513671875 = 263/512 inches

  easier to use: depends on the measurement tool

Step-by-step explanation:

The model dimension is found by multiplying the actual dimension by the scale factor.

__

model dimension

  model frame dimension = actual frame dimension × 1/64

  = (32.875 inches)/64 = 0.513671875 inches

In fractional form, this is ...

  (32 7/8) / 64 = (263/8) / 64 = 263/512 . . . inches

ease of use

It is unlikely that a casual hobbyist will have access to tools that measure with a resolution finer than 0.0001 inches. More common would be a measurement resolution of 0.001 inches. Using such tools, the rounded decimal value 0.5137 or 0.514 inches would be more useful than the fractional measurement.

It is possible that an optical measuring device could be available that would present its result as a fraction of an inch. If such a tool were used, the fractional measurement value would provide an appropriate point of comparison.

In short, the measurement easiest to work with depends on the tool being used to make the measurement.
