What are the common mistakes in Fraction of the remainder problems?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

• Uses the wrong operation or sign when translating a worded description into an algebraic expression

  Applied $\frac{1}{2}$ to the original total (20) instead of to "the rest" (16) - the second fraction is an operator on the remainder, not the whole group

• Gives an intermediate value (e.g. before the final division/simplification) as the final answer

  Correctly found "the rest" (60) but stopped there instead of applying $\frac{1}{5}$
