Tara, Mark, John and Sophie each ate a different Thanksgiving side dish. After the meal, there was 1/4 of the corn left, 1/3 of the stuffing left, 1/2 of the green beans left, and 5/8 of the mashed potatoes left. Tara ate the most. Mark ate the least. John ate more than Sophie. Who ate the green beans?

If Tara ate the most, that would correspond to the meal that has the least amount left. So, Tara must've eaten the corn. Following the same analogy, Mark must've eaten the mashed potatoes, John ate the stuffing and Sophie ate the green beans.

I hope I was able to explain clearly. Have a good day.
