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 there are 7 days in a week, he will work for:
\[ 2 \text{ weeks} \times 7 \text{ days/week} = 14 \text{ days} \]
He works 3.5 hours each day, so the total number of hours can be calculated as:
\[ h = \text{(number of days)} \times \text{(hours per day)} \] \[ h = 14 \text{ days} \times 3.5 \text{ hours/day} \] \[ h = 14 \times 3.5 \]
So, the correct equation representing the total number of hours is:
\[ h = 3.5 \times 14 \]
However, since we want the equation format, we can rearrange:
\[ 3.5h = 14 \]
Thus, the response that correctly represents the total number of hours Cooper will volunteer is:
3.5h = 14
