Answer 1

Explanation:

To use a benchmark fraction it means that fraction must have the same denominator with the other two faction in comparation and equal to 1.

Here we have:

• Steven tiled 5/12

• Kiyo tiled 3/6 of the floor = 6/12

So the benchmark fraction is: 12/12

Look at the photo, we can see that Kiyo tiled a greater portion of a floor.
