Part A: The expression for the total number of minutes Mario volunteers each year at the animal shelter = (405/y) x 365

Part B: The simplified form of the expression for the total number of minutes Mario volunteers each year at the animal shelter = (147825/y) minutes

Number of days Mario volunteers each month at the animal shelter = 1

Number of hours Mario cleans for y days = 5.5 hours

Number of hours Mario each day = 5.5/y

Number of minutes Mario uses to walk dogs for y days = 75 minutes

Number of hours Mario uses to walk dogs for y days= 75/60

Number of hours Mario uses to walk dogs for y days= 1.25 hours

Number of hours Mario uses to walk dogs each day= 1.25/y

Total number of hours Mario volunteers in a day = Number of hours Mario cleans each day + Number of hours Mario uses to walk dogs

Total number of hours Mario volunteers in a day = 5.5/y + 1.25/y

Total number of hours Mario volunteers in a day = 6.75/y

Convert the number of hours to minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes
