Answer:

468 / 5

Explanation:

She scored 78% in a test of 120 questions.

We'll have to find the number of questions she got correctly

78% of 120 =

78 / 100 = x / 120

Cross multiply both sides

100x = 78 × 120

100x = 9360

X = 9360 / 100

X = 468 / 5

The benchmark fraction to estimate the number she answered correctly is 468 / 5
