To find the total number of hours \( h \) that Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank, we can set up the equation based on his daily hours and the total number of days he will work.
Cooper will work for 14 days (2 weeks) at 3.5 hours each day. The total number of hours can be represented by the equation:
\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \]
However, this specific equation is not among the response options provided. Let's analyze the options to see if any of them capture the same relationship:
- \( h^2 = 3.5 \): This does not represent the situation.
- \( \frac{h}{2} = 3.5 \): This implies that he only volunteers for 2 days, which is incorrect.
- \( h \cdot 14 = 3.5 \): This implies that the total hours would equal to 3.5, which is not correct.
- \( h \cdot 3.5 = 2 \): This suggests he only worked for a fraction of a day, which is also incorrect.
None of the options represent the total hours correctly, but if we look for a close match to our original format:
The correct equation based on \( h = 3.5 \times 14 \) can also be rearranged to form:
\[ h = 3.5 \cdot 14 \]
This isn't provided verbatim, but if we consider if multiplying 3.5 by 14 yields a total,
The closest form that reflects the total hour setup conceptually (even if not mathematically accurate) would be looking for multipliers or totals.
However, based on the options available, none directly represent the correct equation for the total hours volunteered effectively. Therefore, it seems that none is suitable. If you had to choose, consider the scenario, but the best method remains originally \( h = 3.5 \times 14 \).
Would you like to clarify or adjust your choices?
