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.

Where can I find a list with all the fractions that are less than one?
Such a list cannot exist, because there are an infinite number of such fractions.
What is all the fractions in order?
That's an infinite list.
How do you arrange fractions in asending order?
Various methods: * Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator; then order by smallest numerator to largest; * Convert the fractions to [approximate] decimals by dividing the numerators by the denominators; then order by the smallest decimal to largest; * Divide the denominators by the numerators; then order by the largest result to the smallest. In all cases list the original fractions.
Are fractions whole numbers?
No. All fractions are not whole numbers, but all whole numbers are [improper] fractions (with a denominator of 1).
What are all the fractions equvialent to 4860?
That's an infinite list. If that's 48/60, try 4/5, 8/10 and 12/15
