Answer:

The more 'chocolatey' chocolate milk is the one prepared by Nell's mom.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by establishing the ratio of chocolate syrup for one ounce of milk in each beverage.

For mom's chocolate milk:


(30mL)/(2ounces) = 15(mL)/(ounce)

For dad's chocolate milk:


(65mL)/(5ounces) = 13(mL)/(ounce)

We know that:

15 > 13

So we can conclude that mom's chocolate milk is more 'chocolatey'.
