1. Danny melted a certain amount of cheese and split it equally into two bowls.
2. Spicy peppers were added to both bowls.
3. Fewer spicy peppers were added to the second bowl compared to the first bowl.
4. The spiciness of the cheese dip is directly related to the amount of spicy peppers added.

2. Analyze the distribution of spicy peppers.
3. Determine the spiciness of each bowl.
STEP 3
Danny melted cheese and split it equally into two serving bowls. Therefore, each bowl has the same amount of cheese.
STEP 4
Danny mixed spicy peppers into each bowl but added fewer spicy peppers to the second bowl than the first bowl.
STEP 5
Since the spiciness of the cheese dip is determined by the amount of spicy peppers, and the first bowl has more spicy peppers than the second bowl, the first bowl of cheese dip is spicier.
The first bowl of cheese dip was spicier.
