Joe pick 112
How do you work out the problem
Joe picked your face. Just kidding he picked 112
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.
