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.
