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.

What benchmark fraction is nearest to 0.46?
The benchmark fractions closest to 0.46 are 1/2 and 1/3. To determine which is closer, we can convert 0.46 to a fraction. 0.46 is equivalent to 46/100, which simplifies to 23/50. Comparing 23/50 to 1/2 and 1/3, we find that 23/50 is closer to 1/2 than to 1/3, making 1/2 the benchmark fraction nearest to 0.46.

What are Three fractions whose benchmark is 1?
Three fractions whose benchmark is 1 include ( \frac{3}{3} ), ( \frac{5}{5} ), and ( \frac{7}{7} ). Each of these fractions simplifies to 1, which serves as the benchmark for comparing other fractions. They represent whole numbers and are often used to illustrate the concept of equivalence in fractions.
Is four over seven a benchmark fraction?
no because only 1, 0, and a half are benchmark fractions other fractions fall between those numbers
What does benchmark fractions mean?
They are fractions which a user is familiar with or comfortable with, and which can be used to compare a given fraction.
