Answer:

Samuel ate more cake.

Explanation:

The whole cake, if represented by a fraction, would be 6/6 or 1.

Now, we know Samuel ate 3/6, meaning he had 3 parts of the cake. Austin ate 2/6 of the cake, so he had 2 parts of the cake.

3 is greater than 2, so we know that Samuel has eaten more cake.
