Question

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?

o h/14 = 3.5
o 3.5h = 14
o h/3.5 = 2
o h/2 = 3.5

Answer 1

Cooper will volunteer for 2 weeks, working 3.5 hours every day. The total number of hours Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank is 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total number of hours Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank, we need to multiply the number of hours he will work each day by the number of days he will volunteer. In this case, Cooper will work 3.5 hours every day for a total of 14 days.

Therefore, the correct equation that represents the total number of hours, h, Cooper will volunteer is 3.5 x 14 = 49.

Answer 2

The total number of hours Cooper will volunteer is 49 hours, given by the equation h = 3.5 × 14. None of the listed equations accurately represent this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which equation represents the total number of hours, h, that Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank. If Cooper works 3.5 hours every day for two weeks, and there are 7 days in a week, then the total number of days he works is 7 days/week × 2 weeks = 14 days. The total number of hours he will volunteer is calculated by multiplying the number of days by the number of hours he works each day.

An appropriate equation would be h = 3.5 × 14, which simplifies to h = 49. This is the total number of hours he will volunteer over two weeks.

To represent this equation, we look for the option that correctly relates h to the number of days and hours worked per day. The correct representation is h = 3.5 × 14, which is not explicitly listed among the options provided in the question. However, if we had to pick from the given options, none perfectly represent the situation, as they incorrectly relate the variables.
