It looks like you've uploaded a math worksheet titled "Problem-Solving Skill: Multistep Problems", and it includes several word problems involving multiplication, addition, and logical reasoning. Since I can't view images directly, I'll solve the problems based on the text you've provided.

Let’s go through each problem step by step and solve them with explanations.

---

Problem 1:

> Based on the table below, how many plants were placed in each box?

| Type of Plant | Number of Plants | Boxes Used |
|---------------|------------------|------------|
| Roses | 36 | 6 |
| Tulips | 45 | 9 |
| Daisies | 72 | 8 |

Step-by-step solution:

We need to find how many plants were placed in each box for each type.

This is a division problem:
$$
\text{Plants per box} = \frac{\text{Total number of plants}}{\text{Number of boxes}}
$$

- Roses:
$$
\frac{36}{6} = 6 \text{ plants per box}
$$

- Tulips:
$$
\frac{45}{9} = 5 \text{ plants per box}
$$

- Daisies:
$$
\frac{72}{8} = 9 \text{ plants per box}
$$

✔ So, roses had 6 per box, tulips 5 per box, daisies 9 per box.

---

Problem 2:

> How many gardening tools were placed in each box?

The problem says:
> "There were 40 gardening tools. They were placed in 5 boxes."

So:
$$
\frac{40}{5} = 8 \text{ tools per box}
$$

✔ Answer: 8 tools per box

---

Problem 3:

> Which operation(s) could you use to find how many gardening tools were placed in each box?

We used division to divide total tools by number of boxes.

✔ Answer: Division

---

Problem 4:

> Which operation(s) could you use to find how many plants were placed in each box?

Again, we divided total plants by number of boxes → Division

✔ Answer: Division

---

Problem 5:

> Which operation(s) could you use to find how many gardening tools were placed in each box?

Same as above → Division

✔ Answer: Division

---

Problem 6:

> What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

Assuming this refers to the earlier problems (like finding plants per box), the main operation was division.

But if there's a multi-step problem (e.g., combining different types), then addition and division might be needed.

But based on what we’ve seen so far, only division was required.

However, let’s suppose there’s a follow-up question like:

> "If 36 roses and 45 tulips are placed equally in 6 boxes, how many plants per box?"

Then:
- Total plants = 36 + 45 = 81
- 81 ÷ 6 = 13.5 → not possible unless fractional plants allowed

But since the original table separates them, likely only division is needed.

✔ So answer: Division

---

Problem 7:

> What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

Again, assuming it's about finding plants or tools per box → Division

✔ Answer: Division

---

Problem 8:

> Which operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

Still likely Division

But if the problem involves totaling first, then dividing, it would be:

→ Addition and Division

For example:
"If 36 roses and 45 tulips are packed into 5 boxes equally, how many plants per box?"

Then:
- 36 + 45 = 81 total plants
- 81 ÷ 5 = 16.2 → again, not whole

But perhaps the problem is simpler.

Given the context, most likely:

✔ Answer: Division

---

Problem 9:

> Which operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

Likely still Division

---

Problem 10:

> Which operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

Same → Division

---

Wait — now looking at the actual numbered questions:

> 4. Which operations could you use to find how many plants were placed in each box?
> 5. Which operations could you use to find how many gardening tools were placed in each box?
> 6. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?
> 7. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

And then:

> 8. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?
> 9. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

Hmm — seems like repetition.

But possibly, the last few questions refer to multi-step problems.

Let’s look at the bottom section:

> Solve.
>
> 1. $ 2 + 6 \times 4 $
> 2. $ 7 \times 4 + 5 $
> 3. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 $
> 4. $ 8 \times 3 - 6 $
> 5. $ 3 \times 4 + 10 $
> 6. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 $
> 7. $ 27 - 18 + 9 $
> 8. $ 27 - 18 + 9 $
> 9. $ 63 - 42 + 21 $

Ah! Now we see that these are order of operations problems.

Let’s solve them using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction).

---

Solving the expressions:

1. $ 2 + 6 \times 4 $
→ Multiply first: $ 6 \times 4 = 24 $
→ Then add: $ 2 + 24 = 26 $
✔ 26

2. $ 7 \times 4 + 5 $
→ $ 7 \times 4 = 28 $
→ $ 28 + 5 = 33 $
✔ 33

3. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 $
→ $ 12 + 10 = 22 $
✔ 22

4. $ 8 \times 3 - 6 $
→ $ 24 - 6 = 18 $
✔ 18

5. $ 3 \times 4 + 10 $
→ $ 12 + 10 = 22 $
✔ 22

6. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 $
→ Same as #3 → 22

7. $ 27 - 18 + 9 $
→ Left to right: $ 27 - 18 = 9 $, then $ 9 + 9 = 18 $
✔ 18

8. $ 27 - 18 + 9 $ → same as #7 → 18

9. $ 63 - 42 + 21 $
→ $ 63 - 42 = 21 $, then $ 21 + 21 = 42 $
✔ 42

---

Now, back to the operations questions:

> 4. Which operations could you use to find how many plants were placed in each box?
→ Division

> 5. Which operations could you use to find how many gardening tools were placed in each box?
→ Division

> 6. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?
→ Likely referring to the word problems — Division

> 7. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?
→ Again, Division

But wait — perhaps problem 6–9 are referring to the expressions?

Let’s re-read:

> Solve.
> 1. $ 2 + 6 \times 4 $ → needs Multiplication and Addition
> 2. $ 7 \times 4 + 5 $ → Multiplication and Addition
> 3. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 $ → Multiplication and Addition
> 4. $ 8 \times 3 - 6 $ → Multiplication and Subtraction
> 5. $ 3 \times 4 + 10 $ → Multiplication and Addition
> 6. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 $ → same → Multiplication and Addition
> 7. $ 27 - 18 + 9 $ → Subtraction and Addition
> 8. $ 27 - 18 + 9 $ → same → Subtraction and Addition
> 9. $ 63 - 42 + 21 $ → Subtraction and Addition

So now we can answer the operations questions:

> 10. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?
→ If referring to expression #1: Multiplication and Addition

But since the questions are numbered 6–9, but the expressions are 1–9, likely:

- Question 6: Refers to expression #1 → Multiplication and Addition
- Question 7: Expression #2 → Multiplication and Addition
- Question 8: Expression #3 → Multiplication and Addition
- Question 9: Expression #4 → Multiplication and Subtraction

Wait — no, the numbering is confusing.

Looking at your image description:

> The last part says:
>
> 1. $ 2 + 6 \times 4 $
> ...
> 9. $ 63 - 42 + 21 $
>
> And then:
>
> 6. What operations did you need...
> 7. What operations did you need...
> 8. What operations did you need...
> 9. What operations did you need...

So likely, questions 6–9 are asking about the operations used in solving the expressions from 1–4, or perhaps they're general.

But more likely, questions 6–9 are asking about the operations needed to solve the previous multi-step word problems.

But the word problems were solved with division.

Alternatively, maybe the "this problem" refers to each expression.

But the numbers don’t match.

Possibility: There’s a typo or misalignment.

But let’s assume that questions 6–9 are asking about what operations were used in solving the expressions, and they’re grouped.

But since the expressions are labeled 1–9, and questions 6–9 come after, perhaps:

- Question 6: What operations for expression 1?
- Question 7: For expression 2?
- etc.

But that doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively, the "solve" section is separate, and questions 6–9 are about the word problems.

But all word problems used division.

So likely:

✔ Questions 4 & 5: Division
✔ Questions 6–9: Division

But wait — let’s check the very end:

> 10. Which operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

But you didn’t include that.

Wait — in your text, it ends at:

> 9. What operations did you need to perform in order to solve this problem?

So probably, all questions 6–9 are asking about the same problem — perhaps a multi-step one.

But we don’t have a clear multi-step problem.

Wait — maybe the main problem is:

> "How many plants were placed in each box?" — which requires division

But perhaps a combined problem:

> "How many total plants were placed in each box if roses and tulips were mixed?"

Then:
- Add plants: 36 + 45 = 81
- Divide by boxes: 81 ÷ ? — but number of boxes not given.

Not matching.

Alternatively, maybe the final set of expressions are meant to be solved, and questions 6–9 ask about the operations used in those.

But the numbers don’t align.

Perhaps the worksheet has:

- Word problems (1–5)
- Expressions (1–9)
- Then questions about operations (6–9)

But the numbering is off.

To clarify, here’s the best interpretation:

6. $ 4 \times 3 + 10 = 12 + 10 = 22 $
7. $ 27 - 18 + 9 = 9 + 9 = 18 $
8. $ 27 - 18 + 9 = 18 $
9. $ 63 - 42 + 21 = 21 + 21 = 42 $

Summary:

- All word problems require division.
- Expression problems require multiplication, addition, subtraction depending on the problem.
- For questions 6–9, if they refer to the word problems, answer is Division.
- If they refer to the expressions, then:
- Q6: Multiplication and Addition (for #1)
- Q7: Multiplication and Addition (for #2)
- Q8: Multiplication and Addition (for #3)
- Q9: Multiplication and Subtraction (for #4)

But since the wording is ambiguous, and the earlier questions are clearly about plants/tools per box, the safest assumption is:

> ✔ Questions 6–9: Division
