To find an equation that represents the total number of hours, \( h \), that Cooper will volunteer at the food bank, you can consider that he will volunteer for 14 days (2 weeks) and work 3.5 hours each day.
The total hours can be calculated as:
\[ h = \text{(number of days)} \times \text{(hours per day)} = 14 \times 3.5 \]
However, you need to represent this in an equation format from the options given.
-
\( h/14 = 3.5 \) implies that if you divide the total hours by the number of days, you get hours per day. This can be rearranged to find \( h \) but doesn't directly represent the total hours.
-
\( 3.5h = 14 \) implies that if you multiply 3.5 by the total number of hours, you would somehow equal 14, which is not correct in this context.
-
\( h/3.5 = 2 \) implies that if you divide the total hours by 3.5, it equals 2. This suggests Cooper works 3.5 hours for 2 days, which is not the case since he works 14 days.
-
\( h = 3.5 \times 2 \) does not represent the 14 days correctly.
Given the total is actually \( 14 \times 3.5 \), the correct representation would be:
\[ h = 14 \times 3.5 \]
However, none of the provided options directly matches this. The closest answer if we manipulate is the \( h/14 = 3.5 \) which can be rearranged to \( h = 3.5 \times 14 \). Thus:
Response: \( \frac{h}{14} = 3.5 \) (it implies \( h = 14 \times 3.5 \)).
