Answer 1

2 (hours) × 5 (weekdays) + 10 ( total number of hours on weekend )

or

2×5 + 4×3? sorry if its wrong could be right tho

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

She volunteers for hours on each week day = 2

No. of week days = 5

So, She volunteers for hours on 5 week day =
`5 * 2`

On Saturday and Sunday, she volunteers 3 hours more each day.

So, on weekend She volunteers for hours on each day = 2+3 = 5 hours

No. of days in weekend = 2

So, She volunteers for hours on weekend
`2 * 5`

So, the number of hours she volunteers in one week:

=
`5 * 2+2 * 5`

=
`20`

Hence the number of hours she volunteers in one week is 20
