h2 = 3.5
Start Fraction h over 2 End Fraction equals 3.5
h3.5 = 2
Start Fraction h over 3.5 End Fraction equals 2
3.5h = 14
3.5 h equals 14
h14 = 3.5
3.5h = 14
The equation that represents the total number of hours Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank is:
3.5h = 14
The equation that represents the total number of hours Cooper will volunteer at the community food bank is:
3.5h = 14
To arrive at this equation, we consider that Cooper will work 3.5 hours every day for two weeks. As there are 7 days in a week, he will work for 3.5 x 7 = 24.5 hours in a week. Since he will volunteer for two weeks, the total number of hours can be calculated by multiplying the number of hours in a week by 2:
Total number of hours = 24.5 x 2 = 49 hours
Therefore, we can write the equation as:
3.5h = 49
Simplifying this equation, we find that:
h = 49 / 3.5 = 14
So, the correct equation is: 3.5h = 14
