Benchmark fractions are common fractions that you can use to judge other numbers against. These fractions are commonly known fractions that serve as a relevant reference point for measurement comparison.

Common benchmark fractions include 1/3, 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4.

There are infinitely many such fractions and the answer also depends on which other benchmarks you are using.


What are benchmark fractions?

You have every right to be concerned, the descriptions "decimal benchmarks" and "fraction benchmarks" are open to many interpretations. In this case, make your own [reasonable] interpretations. If the fractional benchmarks where 1/100 , this is an exact fraction 23/100. If they are taken to be 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, etc., .23 is closer to 1/4, than any other, BUT it is also closer still to 2/9 [hence the confusion]. For decimal benchmarks, there is less confusion, but it is still there. If the benchmarks are .1, .2, .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, .9 etc., the nearest one is .2. If the benchmarks are further refined [between .2 and .3], with .21, .22, .23, .24, ... then .23 coincides with a benchmark. This is not my work I got it from anthony@yahoo.com
