Let's solve each of the division word problems step by step.

Problem 1:
In a week, a chef produced 8100 apple tarts. If the chef takes a day off on Monday, how many apple tarts did he make each day?
####
Step 1: Understand the information
- Total apple tarts made in a week = 8100
- The chef takes
Monday off, so he works only
6 days in the week (Tuesday to Sunday).
####
Step 2: Divide total tarts by number of working days
We divide 8100 by 6:
$$
8100 \div 6 = 1350
$$
####
✔ Answer: The chef made
1,350 apple tarts each day.

Problem 2:
75 florists purchase 12,375 flower stalks from a flower supplier. How many flowers are there for each florist?
####
Step 1: Understand the information
- Total flower stalks = 12,375
- Number of florists = 75
- We need to divide the total number of flower stalks equally among the florists.
####
Step 2: Divide total flowers by number of florists
$$
12,375 \div 75 = ?
$$
Let’s do the division:
We can simplify this:
- First, divide both numbers by 25:
$$
12,375 \div 25 = 495 \\
75 \div 25 = 3
$$
So now we have:
$$
495 \div 3 = 165
$$
Alternatively, do it directly:
$$
12,375 \div 75 = 165
$$
✔ Answer: Each florist gets
165 flower stalks.

✔ Final Answers:
1.
1,350 apple tarts per day
2.
165 flower stalks per florist
