Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this we have find greatest common factor of 26 and 65 which turns out to be 13

To prove this answer we divide the number of scones to 13

26/13=2 scones of strawberry in each bag

65/13=5 scones of blackberry in each bag

2 and 5 will be found in each of the 13 bags.
