To determine which fraction pairs would be useful to use the benchmarks 0, 12%, and 1%, we look for fractions that are either very close to these benchmarks or are easy to compare with these benchmarks.

  1. 49% and 1120: Knowing that 49% is significantly less than 100%, comparing it to 0 and 1% could be useful for understanding its relative size.

  2. 610% and 49%: Here, 610% is well above 100%, making it useful to compare it to benchmarks like 0% and 1% to highlight its large value compared to very small percentages.

  3. 211% and 57%: The same logic applies here—211% is considerably higher than 100%, and 57% can also be compared to 12% to see its relative size.

  4. 52% and 113: This pair includes 113, which is a whole number. It may not be as useful for the benchmark percentages since it's a single number outside the standard percentage range.

  5. 27% and 310: Similar to the above, while 27% can be compared to benchmarks, 310 is a whole number that makes it less straightforward.

From the choices, the most impactful pairs to use the benchmarks would be:

  1. 49% and 1120
  2. 610% and 49%
  3. 211% and 57%

So, the three fraction pairs that would be useful to compare using benchmarks of 0, 12%, and 1% are:

  • 49% and 1120
  • 610% and 49%
  • 211% and 57%
