Salt is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Required spices are......

Salt = \frac{1}{2} teaspoon , Oregano = \frac{1}{3} teaspoon, Crushed thyme = \frac{1}{4} teaspoon and Black peeper = \frac{1}{8} teaspoon

For finding the largest quantity, first we need to make the denominators of each fraction as equal and then identify the largest numerator.  

The denominators are 2, 3, 4 and 8 and their LCM(Least common multiple) will be 24. So.....

\frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*12}{2*12}=\frac{12}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*8}{3*8}=\frac{8}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*6}{4*6}=\frac{6}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{8}=\frac{1*3}{8*3}=\frac{3}{24}

As the largest numerator is 12 here, so the value of \frac{1}{2} is largest among all the fractions.

Thus, <u>Salt</u> is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

34 divided 5323 in simple form

The value when 34 is divided by 5323 is 0.00639.

<h3>What is division?</h3>

It should be noted that division simply means the opposite of multiplication. It represents the way numbers are combined in order to make new numbers.

The steps include:

1: Take the dividend's first digit starting from the left in step one. Verify if this digit exceeds or is equal to the divisor.

2. Next, divide it by the divisor, and write the result as the quotient on top.

3. Subtract the outcome from the digit, and then put the difference below.

4: Decrease the dividend's subsequent digit (if present).

5: Carry out Step 4 again.

In this case, 34 divided 5323 will be 0.00639. It should be noted that this illustrates a decimal.
