Respuesta :

Answer: The greatest number of bags Jason can​ fill = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jason has 22 blueberry scones and 55 raspberry scones.

Each bag should have an equal number of blueberry scones and raspberry scones.

The greatest number of bags Jason can​ fill  = GCF(22,55)

= 11

22 = 2 x 11 , 55= 5 x 11

GCF(22,55)= 11

The greatest number of bags Jason can​ fill = 11
