Question

You have 50 blueberry scones and 75 cranberry scones. You want to make as many identical bags as possible. Each bag should have an equal number of blueberry scones and an equal number of cranberry scones.What is the greatest number of bags you can fill?Explain.

Answer 1

50 because you can put 1 blueberry and 1 cranberry in each bag. If you only have 50 blueberry you can only use 50 cranberry because there has to be the same amount in each bag.

Answer 2

The greatest amount of bags you can fill would be 50.
