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 + 334 = 512
h plus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half
h + 512 = 334
h plus 5 and one-half equals 3 and three-fourths
h − 334 = 512
h minus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half
h − 512 = 334
h = 512 - 334
Maria has to spend 5 1/2
hours to finish her community service program in a community health clinic. Last week, she was able to spend 3 3/4
hours. Which equation can be used to determine the number of hours, h

h + 3 3/4 = 5 1/2
h plus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half
h + 5 1/2 = 3 3/4
h plus 5 and one-half equals 3 and three-fourths
h − 3 3/4 = 5 1/2
h minus 3 and three-fourths equals 5 and one-half
h − 5 1/2 = 3 3/4
h = 5 1/2 - 3 3/4
pick one of my answers
h + 3 3/4 = 5 1/2
The correct equation that can be used to determine the number of hours, h, that Maria still needs to spend to complete her service program is h = 512 - 334.
To arrive at this equation, we need to recognize that Maria has already spent 334 hours out of a total of 512 hours. So, to find out how many more hours she still needs to spend, we subtract the hours already spent (334) from the total hours required (512). This can be represented by the equation h = 512 - 334.
