Question

drag each number to the correct location on the equation.
at the beginning of the day, there were 45 clipboards that were divided equally among 5 offices. by the end of the day, 2 clipboards had gone missing from one office.
complete the equation to show how to find c, the number of remaining clipboards in that office.
5
45
2

Explanation:

Step1: Find clipboards per office

$\frac{45}{5} = 9$

Step2: Subtract missing clipboards

$c = 9 - 2$

Step3: Calculate remaining clipboards

$c = 7$

Answer:

The completed equation is $\boldsymbol{c = \frac{45}{5} - 2}$, and the value of $c$ is $\boldsymbol{7}$
(Number placement: 45 in the numerator, 5 in the denominator, 2 as the subtracted value)
