Answer: Mary = 87

              Bob   = 145

              Dylan = 232

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of one part, then multiply it times the number of parts in each ratio.

Step 1: Add the ratios to find the total parts.

3:5:8 = 3 + 5 + 8 = 16

Step 2: Divide the total by the number of parts.

464/16 = 29 (value of one part)

Step 3: Multiply the value of one part times the number of parts in each ratio.

29 * 3 = 87

29 * 5 = 145

29 * 8 = 232
