    David will have the most cookies and he will have two cookies more than Jake

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's calculate how many cookies will David cut with his cutter, this way:

    Number of cookies = Rolls of cookie dough/Size of the segment

    Replacing with the values we know:

    Number of cookies = 2 / (1/8)

    Number of cookies = 16

    2. Let's calculate how many cookies will Jake cut with his cutter, this way:

    Number of cookies = Rolls of cookie dough/Size of the segment

    Replacing with the values we know:

    Number of cookies = 2 / (1/7)

    Number of cookies = 14

    David will have the most cookies and he will have two cookies more than Jake.
