I had to look up what a benchmark fraction is. It looks like the benchmark fractions are 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4.Of these, 1/2 is the closest to 94/156. It is actually very close to 6/10, but I guess that's not one of them.
A benchmark fraction is one that you can remember easily. In the context of time (hours in a day, months in a year, inches in a foot) 5/12 is a convenient fraction.
fraction for one and one half = 1 1/2
1/2 = Half in fraction terms. -Liam
half of one half is one fourth or 1/4.
1/4 is exactly half way between 0 and 1/2.

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Let's take a moment to appreciate the fraction 6/7. Since we're looking for a benchmark fraction it's closest to, we can see that it's just a smidge away from 1 whole, which is 7/7. So, we can say that 6/7 is closest to 1 whole or 7/7. Just a little nudge away, like a friendly squirrel hopping from one branch to another.

Presumably you're looking at a list to choose from. Choose the one where the numerator is closest to half of the denominator, like 4/9, or 5/11.
One quarter (1/4) is the fraction that is half of one half (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4).
1 over 2 is a half as a fraction
13/15 is closest to one whole rather than one half.
