Why are halves a good choice for benchmark fractions for 1 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and explanation:

Benchmark fractions are fractions that are used as references in measuring other fractions. They are easily estimated and so can be used in measuring more "specific" fractions such as 1/5, 7/9, 3/7, 1/3 etc. If I wanted to measure 1 1/3cm for instance using a calibrated ruler, having centimeter measurements, I would first find 1cm on the ruler and then find half of one centimeter. Seeing that half is bigger than 1/3 but close, I could then estimate 1/3 to be somewhere less than 1/2 but a bit close to it
