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
c = + -

Explanation:

Step1: Total clipboards per office

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

Step2: Subtract missing clipboards

$9 - 2 = 7$

Step3: Build the full equation

$c = \frac{45}{5} - 2$

Answer:

$c = \frac{45}{5} - 2$
The number of remaining clipboards $c = 7$
