Answer 1

To find how many flowers were in each case, you can divide the total number of flowers by the number of cases.

Here are the steps:

1. **Identify Total Flowers**: Anna’s Flower Shop ordered 4,500 flowers.
2. **Identify Number of Cases**: The flowers came in 9 cases.
3. **Divide Total Flowers by Number of Cases**:

\[
\text{Number of flowers per case} = \frac{\text{Total flowers}}{\text{Number of cases}} = \frac{4500}{9}
\]

4. **Perform the Division**:

\[
4500 \div 9 = 500
\]

So, there are **500 flowers in each case**.

I found the answer by using division to allocate the total number of flowers evenly across the number of cases.
