Part of meal ate by James =

Part of meal ate by Josephine =

We want to compare both the meals.

For which we need to make the denominator same by taking L.C.M.

L.C.M. of 8 and 7 = 56

So, Part of meal eaten by James becomes

Similarly,

Part of meal eaten by Josephine becomes

So, Josephine eats greater part of meal than Jame eats.
