Answer:

Part A

= 9 flowers

Part B

= 5 flowers

Explanation:

Emily has 59 flowers. She wants to put the flowers in 6 vases with the same number in each vase.

Part A: What is the greatest number of flowers she can put in each vase?

This is calculated as:

59 flowers ÷ 6 vases

= 9 5/6 flowers

Therefore, the greatest number of flowers she can put in each vase is 9 flowers

Part B: How many flowers will Emily have left over?

We have to calculate the number of flowers in the 6 vases above

= 9 flower × 6

= 54 flowers

Hence:

= 59 flowers - 54 flowers

= 5 flowers

Therefore, Emily would have 5 flowers left over.
