Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Both David and Jacob get 1 roll of cookie.

David cuts his into 1/8 apiece and Jacob cuts his into 1/7 apiece

For David


\begin{gathered} =1/(1)/(8) \\ =1*8 \\ =8pieces \end{gathered}

For Jacob


\begin{gathered} =1/(1)/(7) \\ =1*7 \\ =7pieces \end{gathered}

Therefore, David has more cookies (he has 8 cookies). That is 1 more cookie than Jacob
