Answer 1

The total minutes Nick volunteer in a year are 5000 minutes.

Explanation:

Given:

Nick volunteer Saturday for 60 minutes and each Sunday for 40 minutes. He takes 2 weeks off every year.

Now, how many minutes did he volunteer in one year.

So, in one year there are 52 weeks.

And, total weeks Nick volunteer are 50 in a year as he takes 2 weeks off every year.

And, total minutes in a week nick volunteer = 60+40= 100 minutes.

Now, for getting the total minutes Nick volunteer in a year, we multiply the total weeks he volunteer in a year from total minutes he volunteer in a week :

Total minutes Nick volunteer in a year = total weeks he volunteer in a year × total minutes he volunteer in a week

Total minutes Nick volunteer in a year
`=50* 100\ minutes`

Total minutes Nick volunteer in a year
`=5000\ minutes`

Therefore, the total minutes Nick volunteer in a year are 5000 minutes.
