Question

, Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank? (1 point)
Responses

h3.5 = 2
Start Fraction h over 3.5 End Fraction equals 2

h14 = 3.5
Start Fraction h over 14 End Fraction equals 3.5

3.5h = 14
3.5 h equals 14

h2 = 3.5

Answer 1

To find the total number of hours \( h \) that Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank, we need to consider the number of days he will work and the number of hours he will work each day.

Cooper will work for 2 weeks. Since a week has 7 days, in 2 weeks he will work:

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

He will work 3.5 hours each day. Therefore, the total number of hours he will volunteer is:

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

This can be re-arranged as:

\[ 3.5h = 14 \]

Thus, the correct representation of the total number of hours \( h \) that Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank is:

3.5h = 14
