Answer: I think that the answer is cookies.

Explanation:

The least common denominator for the fractions would be 840.

Bread: 2/8 x 105/105 = 210/840

Pie: 1/7 x 120/120 = 120/840

Cookies: 1/3 x 280/280 = 280/840

Cake: 1/5 x 168/168 = 168/840

Least to greatest:

120/840, 168/840, 210/840, 280/840

That is how I know that the cookies use the most oil.

I got this information from Calculator Soup so this isn’t all of my information.
