How can you use a benchmark fraction to decide What is greater two fifth and seven twelfths?

I do not know what a " benchmark " fraction is, so I just use like denominators to compare different fractions. 60 will have to do here.
12*2/12*5 and 5*7/5*12
24/60 and 35/60
from this we can see that 7/12 is greater than 2/5
7/12 > 2/5
---------------
1/2 is a benchmark fraction. Since 7/12 is greater than 1/2 and 2/5 is less than 1/2, 7/12 must be greater than 2/5.

Yes, 0.875 is greater than 0.75. To decide which is bigger you look at the first digit after the decimal point, and the larger one is the greater number. Since 8 is larger than 7, that means .875 is greater than .75.

How do you decide which two numbers is greater?
A positive number is greater than a negative number. If a positive number is greater than another, the corresponding negative numbers are smaller. For example, since 4 > 3, -4 < -3. For two positive numbers: The number with more digits is greater. If they have the same number of digits, the number with the greater first digit is greater. If they are equal, look at the second digit, which will decide which number is greater, and so forth, up to the last digit. For example, 12500 is greater than 12480: they have the same number of digits, the first two digits are the same, but the third digit is the tie-breaker. For numbers with decimals, first apply the rules above for the whole part. If they are equal, check the first digit after the decimal point, then the second, etc., until you find a "tie-breaker". For example, 0.2522 is more than 0.2517. Once again, the first two digits are the same, the third is the tiebreaker.
