An image of a bright community health clinic, with a weighty atmosphere of dedication and responsibility. Visualize Maria, a Hispanic woman in her mid-20s, with black hair tied back in a neat bun, wearing clear eyeglasses and comfortable clothes suitable for volunteer work like a light-blue scrub suit. Represent her determination with a calculating, focused expression on her face as she looks at a on a huge hourglass showing the passing time, symbolizing 512 hours. Beside her, illustrate a pile of sand collected at the bottom of the hourglass, equivalent to the 334 hours she's already spent on her community service, leaving the rest of the sand on the top.

Maria has to spend 512 hours to finish her community service program in a community health clinic. Last week, she was able to spend 334 hours. Which equation can be used to determine the number of hours, h , that Maria still needs to spend to complete her service program?(1 point)

Responses

h + 512 = 334
h plus 5 and one-half equals 3 and three-fourths

h − 512 = 334
h minus 5 and one-half equals 3 and three-fourths

h + 334 = 512
h plus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half

h − 334 = 512

no

h + 334 = 512

The correct equation to determine the number of hours, h, that Maria still needs to spend to complete her service program is:

h = 512 - 334

The equation that can be used to determine the number of hours Maria still needs to spend to complete her service program is:

h = 512 - 334

Explanation:

We know that Maria has to spend a total of 512 hours to finish her community service program. Last week, she was able to spend 334 hours. To find out how many hours she still needs to spend, we subtract the hours she already spent from the total required hours. Therefore, the equation is h = 512 - 334.
