Answer 1

To find out how many flowers were in each case, we need to divide the total number of flowers by the number of cases.

So, we take the total number of flowers, which is 4,500, and divide it by the number of cases, which is 9.

Here's how we can do the math:

4,500 ÷ 9 = 500

This means that there are 500 flowers in each case.

To understand it better, you can think of it like sharing. If you have 4,500 candies and you want to share them evenly with 9 friends (or cases), each friend would get 500 candies!

So, there are 500 flowers in each case.
