Trip worked at the animal shelter for six hours each week for several weeks she worked for a total of 42 hours how many weeks did chip work at the animal shelter
To find the number of weeks Chip worked at the animal shelter, we can set up a simple equation. Let's assume the number of weeks Chip worked is represented by the variable 'x'.
We know that Chip worked for 6 hours each week. So, the total number of hours Chip worked can be calculated by multiplying the number of weeks (x) by the number of hours worked each week (6).
The equation is: 6x = 42
To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
6x/6 = 42/6
Simplifying, we have:
x = 7
Therefore, Chip worked for 7 weeks at the animal shelter.
