To find the total number of hours \( h \) that Cooper will volunteer, we can set up the equation based on the information given.
Cooper works 3.5 hours every day for 14 days (2 weeks). So the total number of hours can be represented as:
\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \]
To express this in the form of an equation, we would rearrange it to:
\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \]
However, this option does not appear among the provided choices. Evaluating the first option:
- 3.5h = 14: This does not represent the total hours, but rather suggests that if \( h \) is a multiplier of 3.5, it equals 14.
The accurate equation for total hours volunteered by Cooper is:
\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \]
None of the options provided clearly state this correct equation. However, we know that Cooper will volunteer a total of 49 hours. Here is how we put that into an equation:
If we assume that the choice closest to the multiplication might be
\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \text{ or } h = 49 \]
Given these options, if we had to select an answer from your options, none of them correctly represent the total hours. However, based on my interpretation of your description, the equation that makes the most logical sense is the one that encapsulates that \( h \) is equal to the product of 3.5 times the total number of days (which is 14).
Thus, if pressured to pick one, the option 3.5h = 14 stands out, but it's not what we want to represent the total volunteering hours. So, would you like to clarify the options or is there any additional context?
