Solution

The bakery used 1/8 bag of wheat flour and 1/8 bag of white flour.

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

1/8 (wheat flour) + 1/8 (white flour) = 2/8

However, 2/8 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator (2) and the denominator (8) by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

So, 2 ÷ 2 / 8 ÷ 2 = 1/4

Therefore, the bakery used 1/4 bag of flour in total.
