Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times (3+5)=2[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:We need to create a story problem about a baker and some flour whose solution is given by the expression [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times (3+5)[/tex].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 poundsAdditional amount of flour = 5 poundsTotal amount of flour = (3+5) poundsHe used 1/4 th of the resultant quantity of flour for a dish.The flour used for the dish = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times (3+5)[/tex]On simplification we get[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times (8)[/tex][tex]2[/tex]Therefore, he used 2 pounds of flour for the dish.
