We report a measurement of the ratios of the decay rates of the B+, B0, and Bs0 mesons into exclusive final states containing a J/ψ meson. The final states were selected from 19.6 pb-1 of pp̅ collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. These data are interpreted to determine the b quark fragmentation fractions fu, fd, and fs. We also determine the branching fractions for the decay modes B+J/ψK+, B+J/ψK*(892)+, B0J/ψK0, B0J/ψK*(892)0, and Bs0J/ψφ(1020). We discuss the implications of these measurements to B meson decay models.
