Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Lashawn's ratio

Lashawn uses 3 spoonfuls of salsa for 2 eggs. The ratio of salsa to eggs is $\frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ spoonfuls per egg.

Step2: Calculate Gilberta's ratio

Gilberta uses 7 spoonfuls of salsa for 5 eggs. The ratio of salsa to eggs is $\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$ spoonfuls per egg.

Step3: Compare the ratios

Since $1.5 > 1.4$, Lashawn's ratio of salsa to eggs is higher.

Answer:

A. Lashawn’s eggs
