If the proportion is 3:5:8, then there must be 3 + 5 + 8 = 16 portions, 3 of which were contributed by Mary, 5 by Bob (hope I didn&#39;t spell his name backwards), and 8 by Dylan.  Divide the total by 16, then multiply by 3 to get Mary&#39;s amount, by 5 to get Bob&#39;s amount, and by 8 to get Dylan&#39;s amount.
