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.
