Sure, here is an example of a benchmark fraction:
1/2
This is a benchmark fraction because it is a common fraction that is easily understood and used as a reference point for comparing other fractions. For example, if you have the fraction 3/4, you can compare it to 1/2 and know that 3/4 is greater than 1/2. Or if you have the fraction 1/8, you can compare it to 1/2 and know that 1/8 is less than 1/2.
Can you give me an example of a benchmark of fractions thank you bye Bot.

What about if the benchmark was 1/2 and it was 1?
If you are comparing a whole number (such as 1) to a fraction benchmark (such as 1/2), you can think of the whole number as a fraction with a denominator of 1. So, 1 is equivalent to the fraction 1/1.
In this case, you can compare 1/1 to 1/2 by finding a common denominator. To do this, you can multiply 1/2 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 2:
1/2 x 2/2 = 2/4
Now, you can compare 1/1 and 2/4 by finding the common unit fraction. A unit fraction is a fraction with a numerator of 1. In this case, the common unit fraction is 1/4.
1/1 = 4/4
2/4 = 1/2
Since 4/4 is greater than 1/2, you can say that 1 is greater than 1/2 when using 1/2 as a benchmark.
In this case, you can compare 1/1 to 1/2 by finding a common denominator. To do this, you can multiply 1/2 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 2:
1/2 x 2/2 = 2/4
Now, you can compare 1/1 and 2/4 by finding the common unit fraction. A unit fraction is a fraction with a numerator of 1. In this case, the common unit fraction is 1/4.
1/1 = 4/4
2/4 = 1/2
Since 4/4 is greater than 1/2, you can say that 1 is greater than 1/2 when using 1/2 as a benchmark.
