To compare the number of cookies each person will have, we need to find a common denominator for the segments. The least common multiple of 8 and 7 is 56.
David's 2 rolls of cookie dough will be cut into 2 x 8 x 56 = 896 segments.
Jake's 2 rolls of cookie dough will be cut into 2 x 7 x 56 = 784 segments.
Therefore, David will have the most cookies, and he will have 896 - 784 = 112 more cookies than Jake.
David and Jake are making cookies. They each get 2 rolls of cookie dough and they are cutting up their rolls with cookie cutters before David's mother places the cookies in the oven. David's cookie cutter cuts 1 roll into
