Fraction Comparison Reflection

Why is it a good thing to know several ways to compare fractions?
The way you compare fractions depends on the fractions you need to compare. Some methods are easier with certain fractions, and others are harder with certain fractions. For example; when I want to compare the fractions 11/23 and 15/29, benchmark fractions would be a good method to use. 11/23 is slightly lower than a half, and 15/29 is a little greater than a half. To compare those two fractions, you could cross multiply, but that would take longer and be more complicated than using benchmark fractions. Both methods will work, but a certain method is more efficient and easier to compute.
