I have enacted all the changes you suggested and particularly ensured that all the fractions in the question and advice will cancel down to their simplest form by making them all coprime.

Hi Aiden,
Some lines are missing a full stop at the end: i can see the BODMAS definition in the advice section and the end of the line on part b.
In the definition of formula (both in the advice and also in part f), i would change "showing" to "representing", i just think it reads a bit better.
I would also make the choices for the answer in each part variable, so that students can't just click on the same box every time they repeat the question.
But otherwise, i think everything is set out nicely.

Hi Lauren,
It seems that the answer to part c is rewarded 0 marks, i would maybe just reward 2 marks to this part as you have with the other parts.
Also, for part c, i would write "days" next to the answer box, just so it's a bit clearer what the units of the answer are.
I think there is also a slight issue in the advice section for part b, as sometimes the first fraction \displaystyle\simplify{{k}/{j}}, simplifies too much, for example i saw that number as 5 but i think the intended number was 15/3 because then later in the code when you are multiplying the numerators and denominators of both fractions this shows 15 x \var{numif} and 3 x \var{h}, so because the question shows the first fraction in it's simplified form, it's not immediately clear where the other two numbers come from. To fix this, i would maybe set the gcd of k and j to be equal to 1.
Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise i think it looks good!

Thanks for your feedback, i have corrected the mistakes
