Answer:
The smaller bowl was spicier.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of bowls of salsa made = 2
Spices in smaller bowl = 5 ounces of hot peppers and 20 ounces of tomatoes
Spices in the larger bowl = 6 ounces of hot peppers and 30 ounces of tomatoes.
The smaller bowl has hot peppers that are 25% (5/20) of the tomatoes.
The larger bowl has hot peppers that are 20% (6/30) of the tomatoes.
The implication is that the smaller bowl will be hotter than the larger bowl and therefore, spicier, since the spicy ingredients are more in proportion.
