kim made three quiches for a party: cheese, spinch, mushroo. the cheese quiche was cut into 8 equals pieces, the spinach quiche was cut into 16 equal pieces, and the mushroom quiches was cut into 4 equal pieces. at the party, people ate 5 pieces of the cheese, 9 pieces of the spinach, and 2 pieces of the mushroom. which quicje did people eat the most of> identify the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least.
5/8 , 9/16 , 2/4 : The cheese quiche was eaten the most. (is the correct answer)
Are you sure?
The numerical order from greatest to least for the fractions representing the amount of quiche eaten would be:
Spinach quiche: 9/16
Cheese quiche: 5/8
Mushroom quiche: 2/4 or 1/2
So, people ate the most pieces of the spinach quiche.
To determine which quiche people ate the most of, we need to compare the fractions of each quiche that were eaten. Let's calculate the fractions eaten for each quiche:
Cheese quiche: People ate 5 out of 8 pieces, which can be written as 5/8.
Spinach quiche: People ate 9 out of 16 pieces, which can be written as 9/16.
Mushroom quiche: People ate 2 out of 4 pieces, which can be written as 2/4.
Now, let's arrange these fractions in numerical order from greatest to least:
9/16, 5/8, 2/4
Therefore, the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least are 9/16, 5/8, and 2/4. This means people ate the most of the spinach quiche.
To determine which quiche people ate the most of, we need to compare the number of pieces eaten for each type.
First, let's calculate the fraction of each quiche that was eaten:
- Cheese quiche: People ate 5 pieces out of 8, so the fraction eaten is 5/8.
- Spinach quiche: People ate 9 pieces out of 16, so the fraction eaten is 9/16.
- Mushroom quiche: People ate 2 pieces out of 4, so the fraction eaten is 2/4.
Now, let's order these fractions from greatest to least:
1. Spinach quiche: 9/16
2. Cheese quiche: 5/8
3. Mushroom quiche: 2/4
Therefore, people ate the most of the spinach quiche, followed by the cheese quiche, and then the mushroom quiche.
