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)

Question

Responses

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

h2 = 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
3.5 h equals 14

Answer 1

To determine the total number of hours, \( h \), that Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank, we can break down the information given:

• Cooper will volunteer for 2 weeks.
• He will work 3.5 hours every day.
• There are 7 days in a week.

So the total number of hours he will volunteer is given by the formula:

\[ h = \text{(number of days)} \times \text{(hours per day)} \]

Over 2 weeks, the number of days = \( 2 \times 7 = 14 \) days.

Thus, the equation becomes:

\[ h = 14 \times 3.5 \]

This can also be rearranged to fit one of the provided options. If you want it in the form of an equation:

\[ 3.5h = 14 \]

The correct answer from the given choices is:

3.5h = 14
