Choose 1 answer:
a: they have too much caramel
b: they have too little caramel
c: they are just right

Answer 1

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $t$ be the number of ounces of caramel that has to be added to each scoop of ice cream.

So,for $n$ scoops,there has to be $n\times t$ ounces of caramel.

It is given that for every 5 scoops of ice cream,3 ounces of caramel has to be added.

So,$5\times t=3$

and $t=0.6$

For 8 scoops of ice cream,there has to be $8\times t=8\times 0.6=4.8$ ounces of caramel added.

But Freeze Zone adds 6 ounces of caramel.

So,Ari thinks that Freeze Zone adds more caramel
