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
