Moira needs a total of 214 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, we can set up the equation based on the total hours she needs and the hours she has already read.

The equation can be written as:

\[ h + 178 = 214 \]

Here, \( h \) represents the number of hours Moira still needs to read. To solve for \( h \), you can rearrange the equation:

\[ h = 214 - 178 \]

This equation will help find the remaining hours she needs to read to finish the book.
