Answer 1

The correct answer is:

58, 9/16, 2/4; The spinach quiche was eaten the most

Answer 2

To determine which quiche was eaten the most, we need to compare the number of pieces eaten for each quiche.

The cheese quiche was cut into 8 equal pieces, and 5 pieces were eaten.
The spinach quiche was cut into 16 equal pieces, and 9 pieces were eaten.
The mushroom quiche was cut into 4 equal pieces, and 2 pieces were eaten.

Comparing the fractions, we have:
Cheese: 5/8
Spinach: 9/16
Mushroom: 2/4

Now let's order these fractions from greatest to least:
1. 9/16 (Spinach)
2. 5/8 (Cheese)
3. 2/4 (Mushroom)

Therefore, the quiche that people ate the most of is the spinach quiche.

Answer 3

To determine which quiche people ate the most, we need to compare the fractions of each quiche that were eaten.

First, let's calculate the fraction of each quiche that was eaten:

- Cheese quiche: People ate 5 pieces out of 8 pieces, so the fraction eaten is 5/8.
- Spinach quiche: People ate 9 pieces out of 16 pieces, so the fraction eaten is 9/16.
- Mushroom quiche: People ate 2 pieces out of 4 pieces, so the fraction eaten is 2/4.

Now let's compare these fractions in numerical order from greatest to least:

1. 9/16
2. 5/8
3. 2/4

Therefore, the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least are 9/16, 5/8, and 2/4.

Lastly, since the fraction 9/16 corresponds to the spinach quiche, we can conclude that the spinach quiche was eaten the most.

So, the correct answer is:

9/16, 5/8, 2/4 ; The spinach quiche was eaten the most
