Diego drank $x$ ounces of juice. Lin drank $\frac{1}{4}$ less than that.
Lin ran $x$ miles. Diego ran $\frac{3}{4}$ more than that.
Diego bought $x$ pounds of almonds. Lin bought $\frac{1}{4}$ of that.

Problem 2

Elena walked 12 miles. Then she walked $\frac{1}{4}$ that distance. How far did she walk all together? Select all that apply.

$12 + \frac{1}{4}$
$12 \cdot \frac{1}{4}$
$12 + \frac{1}{4} \cdot 12$
$12 (1 + \frac{1}{4})$
$12 \cdot \frac{3}{4}$
$12 \cdot \frac{5}{4}$

Problem 3

Write a story that can be represented by the equation $y = x + \frac{1}{4} x$ .
