While making pastries, a bakery used 1/5 of a bag of wheat flour and 4/5 of a bag of white flour. How many bags of flour did the bakery use in all?

*Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.*

The bakery used two types of flour: 1/5 of a bag of wheat flour and 4/5 of a bag of white flour.

To find the total amount of flour used, we simply add the two fractions together:

\[
\frac{1}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1+4}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1
\]

So, the bakery used **1 bag of flour in total**.
