The turkeys, Quincy, Lucy, Prudence and John, are making a pumpkin pie and each add a different ingredient. When the pie is finished, there is 1/4 cinnamon left, 1/3 of nutmeg, 1/2 of ginger and 5/8 of pumpkin left. Quincy used the most. Lucy used the least. Prudence used more than John. Who used the ginger?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

prudence is the one who had ginger

Answer: John

Step-by-step explanation:

Quincy = Cinnamon

Lucy = Pumpkin

Prudence = Nutmeg

John = GINGER

Since Quincy used the most, that means he'd have the least remaining ingrediant (cinnamon - 1/4 || .25). If Lucy used the least of her ingrediant, then that means she'd have the most remaining, which would be the pumpkin (5/8 || .625). And if Prudence used more of his ingredient than John, that means she'd have less ingrediant remaining, so between the nutmeg and the ginger, she clearly used the nutmeg (1/3 || .33). Which leaves John with the Ginger (1/2 || .5)
