The answer depends on "instead of WHAT?"
Rational fractions, percentages and decimal fractions are fractions: they are simply different ways of representing parts of a whole. So the choice cannot be between these. If the choice is between fractions and whole numbers, the answer is depends on the degree of accuracy required and the units in use. For example, if measuring your height, a whole number of centimetres would be appropriate but for metres, you would want fractional values (to hundredths of a metre).

What is an everyday example where a fraction is impossible to use you have to use a decimal?
There is no such example. If you cannot use an exact fraction then there will not be an exact decimal that you can use instead. And, if you are using an approximate decimal, you could use an approximate fraction instead.
How to use benchmarks to estimate?
compare with random fraction to a benchmark fraction. to tell if a fraction is less or greater than another fraction.

What is a situation in which you would use fractions to express a number less than one What is a situation in which decimals seem to work better?
The fraction 1/3=0.3333333... In this case it is better to use fractions just like in all cases. There will be no case when decimals will work better than fractions however, if a test says to use decimals; USE THEM!

When is it better to use a fraction a decimal or a percent?
The answer depends on the form with which you are more comfortable. The main disadvantage of using decimal fractions is that they may result in an accumulation of rounding errors.
Why should you use an additional fraction to solve a subtraction fraction?
There is no need to do so.
