Cooper will volunteer at a community food bank for two 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? (1 point)
Responses

h/3.5 = 2
Start Fraction h over 3.5 End Fraction equals 2

h/2 = 3.5
Start Fraction h over 2 End Fraction equals 3.5

h/14 = 3.5
Start Fraction h over 14 End Fraction equals 3.5

3.5h = 14

1 answer

To find the total number of hours, \( h \), that Cooper will volunteer, we can first calculate how many days he will be volunteering. He will volunteer for 2 weeks, which is:

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

If he works 3.5 hours each day, the total number of hours he will volunteer can be represented by the equation:

\[ h = 3.5 \text{ hours/day} \times 14 \text{ days} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \]

This relationship can also be rearranged to represent \( h \) in another way:

\[ 3.5h = 14 \]

Since this does not exactly represent the multiplication for total hours, we can simply express that as a total share instead of rearranging.

Based on the given options, the correct equation that represents the total number of hours, \( h \), Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank is:

3.5h = 14
