Question

Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank for 2 weeks. He will work 3.5 hours every day Which equation represents the total number of hours h Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank

Answer 1

To find the total number of hours \( h \) that Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank, you can use the following equation:

\[
h = 3.5 \times d
\]

where \( d \) is the total number of days he will volunteer. Since he will volunteer for 2 weeks and there are 7 days in a week, the total number of days he will work is:

\[
d = 2 \text{ weeks} \times 7 \text{ days/week} = 14 \text{ days}
\]

Now, substituting \( d \) into the equation, we have:

\[
h = 3.5 \times 14
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
h = 49
\]

So, the total number of hours \( h \) that Cooper will volunteer is 49 hours. The equation that represents the total hours he volunteers is:

\[
h = 3.5 \times 14
\]

This can also be simplified to:

\[
h = 3.5 \times (2 \times 7) \quad \text{or} \quad h = 7 \times 3.5 \times 2
\]

Both forms of the equation are correct and represent the total hours he will work.
