You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2,000 hours times 60 minutes per hour = 120,000 minutes.
120,000 minutes divided by 35 minutes = 3,428.571429 occurrences of 35 minutes.
3,428.571429 occurrences of 35 minutes times 5 pesos = 17,142.85714 pesos.
this tells you that 2000 hours is worth 17,142.85714 pesos.

another way of looking at it:

if 5 pesos is worth 35 minutes, then 1 minute is worth 5 / 35 = .1428571420 pesos.
2,000 hours times 60 = 120,000 minutes times .1428571420 pesos per minute = 17,142.85714 pesos.
