Answer 1

Each Bag can fit 2 Blueberry Scones and 5 Blackberry Scones

Explanation:

Given:

34 Blueberry scones

85 Blackberry scones

34 Blueberry so 34 divided by the Bag 17 (34 ÷ 17 = 2)

85 Blackberry scones so 85 divided by the Bag 17 ( 84 ÷ 17 = 5)

Therefore Jason can put 2 Blueberry scones and 5 Blackberry scones in each Bag
