Question

An art classroom has 5 boxes with sharpie pens and clipboards. Each box has 4 sharpies there are 25 supplies in all how many total clipboards are there?

Answer 1

1 clipboard per box

Explanation:

First, multiply 4 by 5 (because we need to see how many supplies there are already taken up)

4x5= 20

Next, subtract 25 from 20 (to see how many total clipboards there are)

25-20= 5

Since there are 5 boxes, we divide the number of clipboards(5) by the number boxes(5):

5/5= 1
