I'm assuming your asking how many did Keith get?
56*3/4=42 Leon gave to Joe
42*2/7=12 Joe gave to Keith
3/4= 75%
2/7=28.6%
56*3/4=42 Leon gave to Joe
42*2/7=12 Joe gave to Keith
3/4= 75%
2/7=28.6%

How much did Keith get?
3/4 x 56 = 42 = Joe
2/7 x 42 = 12 = Keith
Clue: the word 'of ' tells us that we need to multiply.
