Michelle picked 16 berries.
Ian picked 80 berries.
Joe Mama picked 112 berries because,
First draw 1 box for Michelle, 5 boxes for Ian, 7 boxes for Joe. If you add
1 + 5 + 7, it equals 13.13 divided 208 equals 16. So, you put 16 in the boxes that you drew. Michelle picked 16 berries because she only has 1 box. For Ian, multiply 16 x 5 because there are 5 boxes. For Joe, multiply 16 x 7 since there are 7 boxes. 16 x 5 = 80 and 16 x 7 = 112. Since the question is asking how many berries Joe picked, He picked 112 berries.
