Each bag should have an equal number of raspberry scones and an equal number of strawberry scones. What is the greatest number of bags Jason can​ fill? How many would raspberries and strawberries would be in each bag?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 or 24.5

Explanation:

You would take the whole amount of scones (14 +35) and add it together, which would get you 49. Although 49 is not an even number, the scones could be rounded up to 24, or just be cut in half with 24.5.
