Sample 1 Fractions

Bill and Sue each get 1/6 of a bag of apples. What fraction of the bag is left?

A 2/6

B 5/6

C 3/6

D 4/6

Show worked answer

Answer: D. 4/6

Bill gets 1/6 and Sue gets 1/6. Together they get 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6. The amount left is 1 - 2/6 = 6/6 - 2/6 = 4/6.

Sample 2 Fractions and decimals

C 0.5

Show worked answer

Answer: D. 0.6

To convert 3/5 to a decimal, divide 3 by 5: 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6.

Parent FAQ

Questions families ask

Is this official NAPLAN material?

No. Pi Leo Academy provides independently developed NAPLAN-style practice and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ACARA or NAPLAN.

Should my child start with timed practice?

Often it is better to find the topic gaps first, review worked solutions, then add timed practice once the skill feels familiar.

Yes. The free maths check-up does not require payment or a credit card.
