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 each that Maria still needs to spend to complete her service program.

H -5 1/2 equals 3 3/4
+3 and three equals 5 1/2
H -3 3/4 equals 5 1/2
H +5 1/2 equals 3 3/4

The correct equation is H - 3 3/4 = 5 1/2.
