    Elaine brought more salad to the picnic.

    To figure this question out, you have to make the fractions have common denominators. The LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 3 and 4 (the denominators of the fractions) is 12.

    3/4 = 9/12 (Elaine) (Numerator times 3, Denominator times 3)

    2/3 = 8/12 (Jake) (Numerator times 4, Denominator times 4)

    I would say that they equally brought the same quantity. 3/4 is 3 out of 4, 2/3 is 2 out of 3. I just see that they both made equal effort.
