Who used the ginger?

Answer 1

John

Explanation:

Well i passed the quiz

Answer 2

John used the ginger

Explanation:

Suppose the pumkin pie is 100

Number of cinnamon left =
`(1)/(4)* 100`

=25%

Number of nutmeg left =
`(1)/(3)* 100`

=33.33%

Number of ginger left=
`(1)/(2)* 100`

=50%

Number of pumpkin left=
`(5)/(8)* 100`

=62.5%

Since Quincy used the most ingredient ,therefore least amount of ingredients was left which is cinnamon

Lucy used the least amount of ingredients hence most of the her ingredients were left which is pumpkin

Prudence used more than John which means he has lesser amount of ingredient remaining which is nutmeg

Hence John used lesser amount of ingredient and have much more left than Prudence which is the ginger.
