Answer:

Jim only found 15 of the containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If his mom hid 875 jelly beans evenly into 25 containers we can easily multiply 25 x 35 = 875, which means there were 35 jelly beans in each container.

Jim only found an amount of 385 jelly beans. To find out how many containers he found, all you have to do is divide 385 by 25 which gives us 15.4.

15.4 rounded to the nearest whole number is 15. So your answer would be that Jim found only 15 out of 25 containers.
