Question

A pie has to be divided among few kids. Puneet gets 2/7th portion of the pie and sheela gets 5/8th of the pie. Who amongst the two gets lesser share

Answer 1

of course Puneet gets lesser share as
$2 \div 7 < 5 \div 8$

Answer 2

Convert both fractions to the same denominator:

Punnet = 2/7 = (2x8)/(7x8) = 16/56

Sheela = 5/8 = (5x7)/(8x7) = 35/56

Compare:

Since 16/56 < 35/56

⇒ Punnet has the lesser share

Answer; Punnet
