I'm gonna answer it in a few posts, following up on what OrthodoxMan said:

Answer 10

and now it becomes a simple unit conversion problem:
Brad volunteers 70 minutes per week for 50 weeks per year. How many minutes per year?

In mathematical notation to make it understandable:

70 minutes/week * 50 weeks/year = x minutes/year

the weeks cancel, leaving you with 70*50 = 3500 minutes per year :)
