You are right Mellie, the question is not expressed well.
But the figures do not work if Katie gets the smaller share because 32 divided by 3 is not a whole number.
So katie must get the big share.
The sweets are split into 3+8=11 portions
Katie gets 8 of those portions and she gets 32 sweets so each potion must be 32 divided by 8 =4
So
Pavel gets 3 lots of 4 sweets = 12 sweets
