Question

If you have 14 strawberry scones and 35 blackberry scones and you want to make bags with an equal amount of strawberry scones and an equal amount of blackberry scones how many strawberry and blackberry scones will be in each bag?

Answer 1

To make bags with an equal amount of strawberry scones and blackberry scones, put 7 strawberry scones and 7 blackberry scones in each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make bags with an equal amount of strawberry scones and blackberry scones, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numbers of strawberry and blackberry scones. The GCD of 14 and 35 is 7. Therefore, we can put 7 strawberry scones and 7 blackberry scones in each bag.
