There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

To use benchmarks to estimate decimals, you first identify a familiar whole number that the decimal is close to. For example, if you have the decimal 0.35, you can benchmark it to 0.5, which is halfway between 0 and 1. Then, you can approximate the decimal as being slightly less than 0.5. This method helps you quickly estimate decimal values without needing to perform precise calculations.
