Two people, james and josephine, ordered the same meal. james ate 5⁄8 of his meal, while josephine ate 5⁄7 of her meal. which statement correctly compares how much of their meal each person ate? a. they ate the same amount of their meal. b. josephine ate 5⁄56 more of her meal than james ate. c. josephine ate 5⁄56 less of her meal than james ate. d. james ate 1⁄7 more of his meal than josephine ate.

Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

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.

Difference between their parts would be

Hence, Josephine ate more of her meal than James ate.

Thus, option 'b' is correct.
