Stephen is not allowed to watch more than 5 hours of television a week. He watched his favorite show on Monday which was 1 hour long and his favorite Tuesday show which was 1.5 hours long. How many more hours of television can he watch? (1 point)
2.5h = 5
h + 1 + 1.5 = 5
h + 5 = 1 + 1.5
h - 1 - 1.5 = 5
To find out how many more hours of television Stephen can watch, we need to subtract the hours he has already watched from the maximum allowed hours.
Stephen has already watched 1 hour on Monday and 1.5 hours on Tuesday, so in total, he has watched 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 hours.
The maximum allowed hours of television is 5 hours.
To find out how many more hours Stephen can watch, we subtract the hours he has already watched from the maximum allowed hours:
5 - 2.5 = 2.5
Stephen can still watch 2.5 hours of television.
