Create and solve a story problem about a baker and some flour whose solution is given by the expression 1/4 x (3 + 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to create a story problem about a baker and some flour whose solution is given by the expression .

Story problem : Suppose a bake has 3 pound of flour initially after adding 5 pound of flour he used 1/4 th of the resultant quantity of flour for a dish. How much flour he used for the dish.

Solution of the problem:

Initial amount of flour = 3 pounds

Additional amount of flour = 5 pounds

Total amount of flour = (3+5) pounds

He used 1/4 th of the resultant quantity of flour for a dish.

The flour used for the dish =

On simplification we get

Therefore, he used 2 pounds of flour for the dish.
