Arbitrarily assign either wrench as the reference. Then express the size of the other wrench as a fractional size of the reference wrench.

Example: Wrench A is the reference wrench and it measures 12 inches long. Wrench B measures 18 inches long. Therefore wrench B is 1. 5 times longer than wrench A.

(18 divided by 12 = 1.5)
