Answer: C. 1/4

There are 8 equal sections and 2 are blue. Probability = 2/8 = 1/4.

Sample 3 Perimeter

A larger shape is made from tiles with equal side lengths of 3.5 cm. The larger shape has 16 outside sides. What is its perimeter?

A 70 cm
B 56 cm
C 49 cm
D 42 cm
Show worked answer

Answer: B. 56 cm

Perimeter = number of outside sides × side length = 16 × 3.5 = 56 cm.

Sample 4 Ratios and rates

A plan increases exercise time steadily: 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 67.5 minutes. Which statement is true?

A 1.5 times as long as the previous day
B 1.5 minutes longer than the previous day
C 10 minutes longer than the previous day
D 10 times as long as the previous day
Show worked answer

Answer: A. 1.5 times as long as the previous day

Each term is multiplied by 1.5 to get the next term.

Sample 5 Mean and data

The numbers are 17, 22, 17, 24, 20. What is the mean?

A 17
B 20
C 21
D 100
Show worked answer

Answer: B. 20

Add the numbers to get 100 and divide by 5. The mean is 20.

Answer: 135

Adjacent angles on a straight line add to 180°. Therefore x = 180° − 45° = 135°.

Parent FAQ

Questions families ask

Is this official NAPLAN material?

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.
