Moira needs a total of 214

Question

hours to finish reading a book. Yesterday, she read for 178
hours. Supply the correct numbers to complete the equation that can be used to determine the number of hours, h
, that Moira needs to read to finish the book.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the number of hours \( h \) that Moira needs to read to finish the book, you can set up the equation as follows:

\[ 178 + h = 214 \]

Here, 178 represents the hours she has already read, and 214 is the total number of hours needed to finish the book. You can then solve for \( h \) by isolating it on one side of the equation:

\[ h = 214 - 178 \]

When you calculate this, you'll find that:

\[ h = 36 \]

So, Moira needs to read 36 more hours to finish the book.
