They ate more portion of the marble cake. We can conclude that by calculating the percentage of each cake eaten by the family.

Percentage can be defined as a number or ratio expressed in fraction of 100. The percentage is denoted using % sign.

The percentage of cake eaten can be calculated as:

[tex]\rm Percentage = \dfrac{Pieces\:eaten}{Total\:pieces} \times 100[/tex]

Total pieces of chocolate cake are 12. The family ate 5 pieces. Therefore the percentage of chocolate cake eaten will be:

[tex]\rm Percentage = \dfrac{5}{12} \times 100\\\\\rm Percentage = 41.67\%[/tex]

Similarly, total pieces of marble cake are 6, the number of pieces eaten is 3, therefore the percentage will be:

[tex]\rm Percentage = \dfrac{3}{6} \times 100\\\\\rm Percentage = 50\%[/tex]

Therefore the family ate more marble cake.
