Mrs Baker bought some flour.

\n" ); document.write( " There were 250g more flour in 2 similar bags than what ws used for a cherry pie.
\n" ); document.write( " If all the flour was packed into 25 bags instead, how much flour would be in each bag.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = original amt of flour in grams
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4\"x used to make 6 pies
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4\"x * \"1%2F6\" = \"1%2F24\"x to make 1 pie
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the rest equally into 9 bags.\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"x * \"1%2F9\" = \"3%2F36\"x = \"1%2F12\"x in each bag
