b: they have too little caramel
c: they are just right

Answer 1

a

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* 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* t=3`

and
`t=0.6`

For 8 scoops of ice cream,there has to be
`8* t=8* 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
