To find the number of equal groups that were formed, we need to use basic division.
First, subtract 2 from the total number of students: 93 - 2 = 91
Since the problem mentions that equal groups of fewer than 10 students were formed, we can start by trying to divide the remaining 91 students into groups of 9.
Divide 91 by 9: 91 ÷ 9 = 10 with a remainder of 1
The remainder of 1 means that there weren't enough students left to form another group of 9. Therefore, 10 equal groups were formed.
