Final answer:
The other bakery that was considered was much too small and would cost $250 per month to rent, which is one fourth of the rented bakery's cost of $1,000 per month.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is tasked with determining the cost of another bakery rental which was one-quarter of the cost of the current bakery. Given that the current bakery costs $1,000 per month to rent, we need to calculate one fourth of this price to find the cost of the alternative bakery.
To find one fourth of $1,000, we divide $1,000 by 4:
Thus, the other bakery that was considered for rental would cost $250 per month.
