Let\u2019s understand this using a real-life example. What do you do when you are trying to find a new address or when you explore a new street? You try to identify a benchmark near it or a nearby location you are familiar with and then you find the new address comparing it against the benchmark point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, when comparing or ordering fractions becomes difficult, we can take help from benchmark fractions. Let\u2019s brush up some basic concepts first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A fraction can be defined as a part of a whole. The denominator represents the total number of equal parts of a whole and is written at the bottom. The numerator represents the number of parts taken from the whole and is written at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{3}{5}$ represents 3 parts out of 5 equal parts. 3 is the numerator, and 5 is the denominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-games-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4 class=\"recommended-games-container-headline\">Recommended

Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In math, benchmark fractions can be defined as fractions that we can use when measuring, comparing, or ordering other fractions. They are used as a \u201cbenchmark\u201d for other common factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Common benchmark fractions examples: $0, 1,\\frac{1}{4} , \\frac{1}{2}$ , etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">These fractions are most helpful when the fractions are to be compared or to be placed on a number line. Here\u2019s a benchmark fractions chart placed on a number line, which can help you compare fractions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/benchmark-fractions-strip.png\" alt=\"Benchmark fractions strip\" class=\"wp-image-37625\" title=\"Benchmark fractions strip\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/benchmark-fractions-strip.png 510w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/benchmark-fractions-strip-149x300.png 149w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s understand how the fraction strip is helpful. Let\u2019s compare the unlike fractions $\\frac{3}{5}$ and $\\frac{7}{8}$ easily using this chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Observe the one-fifth strip and the one-eighth strip. The 3 parts of the one-fifth strip represent 35and the 7 parts of the one-eighth strip $\\frac{7}{8}$. Comparing the region occupied by the shaded parts, we get $\\frac{3}{5} \\lt \\frac{7}{8}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

way for students to grasp the fundamentals of fractions. Fraction strips simplify studying the division of fractions into halves, thirds, quarters, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For example, these strips can be cut into various sizes, so it\u2019s possible to work on multiple problems.
