Answer: 11 oranges in each box.

Explanation:

Division is used to evenly separate totals into groups (total/#of groups= Quotient per group).

In this case, we divide the total, 99 oranges, by the amount of groups we want, which is 9 boxes, in order to find an even amount for each box from the total oranges.

So, 99/9= 11 oranges per box
