1. **State the problem:** We are given a right triangle with legs 32 and 60, hypotenuse 68, and we need to find $\tan B$ where $B$ is the angle opposite the leg of length 32.
2. **Recall the definition of tangent:** For an angle in a right triangle, $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}$.
3. **Identify sides relative to angle B:** Opposite side to angle $B$ is 32, adjacent side to angle $B$ is 60.
4. **Calculate $\tan B$:**
$$\tan B = \frac{32}{60}$$
5. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\tan B = \frac{\cancel{32}}{\cancel{60}} = \frac{16}{30} = \frac{8}{15}$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$\tan B = \frac{8}{15}$$
