Celery = 3/8 cups

Tomatoes = 2/5 cups

Carrot = 5/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

CLUE 1: The amounts were 2/5 cup, 3/4 cup, and 5/8 cup

CLUE 2: There is less celery than tomatoes.

CLUE 3: There is less tomatoes than carrots

From clue 2 and 3:

Tomato > Celery ; Carrots > tomatoes

From least to highest :

Celery < Tomatoes < Carrot

Arranging clue 1 in ascending order :

2/5 = 0.4

3/8 = 0.375

5/4 = 1. 25

Hence,

3/8 < 2/5 < 5/4

Celery = 3/8 cups

Tomatoes = 2/5 cups

Carrot = 5/4 cups
