Ariel will make a bigger batch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott - Every 2 cups Almonds = 3 cups raisins

so 6 cups almonds = 9 cups raisins

6+9 = 15

Scott's batch - 15 cups

Ariel - Every 3 cups Almonds = 5 cups sunflower seeds

so 6 cups almonds = 10 cups sunflower seeds

6+10 = 16

Ariel's batch - 16 cups

16 > 15 so Ariel's is bigger.
