How can you find the answer for whole numbers on fractions?
You round to the nearest whole number.
What is the benchmark fraction that is nearest to 0.225?
The answer depends on which fractions you consider as benchmarks.
What are equivlent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions that are equal. So, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
What are the 2 kinds of fraction?
There are common fractions, improper fractions and equivalent fractions
How do you round improper fractions to the nearest whole?
example: 17/2 = 8 1/2. 17 divided by 2= 8 with 1 left over. This 1 goes over the denominaor which comes out to 8 1/2.

Fractions more than one are called?
Depending on how you write them, they are either called mixed fractions (e.g., 2 1/2), or improper fractions (e.g., 5/2).Depending on how you write them, they are either called mixed fractions (e.g., 2 1/2), or improper fractions (e.g., 5/2).Depending on how you write them, they are either called mixed fractions (e.g., 2 1/2), or improper fractions (e.g., 5/2).Depending on how you write them, they are either called mixed fractions (e.g., 2 1/2), or improper fractions (e.g., 5/2).

Fractions same as 0.5?
0.5 = 1/2 or 2/4 as fractions
How is a benchmark used to estimate fractions sums?
A benchmark is an easy to work with number. you round fractions to the nearest benchmark and it will be very easy to add. i use 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4, 2, 2 1/4, and so on as benchmarks.
Why don't we just round numbers to the nearest whole number?
Quite simply because you NEED fractions. Fractions exist everywhere whether you chose to acknowledge them or not.
What are eqivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions which denote the same amount, such as 1/2, 2/4, 4/8 and so on.
Can you call 2 equivalent fraction like fractions?
