The correct option is A 12
The benchmark fractions are: 0, 12, 1

Comparing 89 to its nearest benchmark, we get:


As 8 is close to 9, the fraction can be rounded off to 1

Now, comparing 611 to its nearest benchmark, we get:


As 11 is close to 12, the fraction can be rounded off to 12

So, we can write:
