Let's solve the problems presented in the image.

### Problem a:
**223 minutes + 14 minutes + 34 minutes**  
We add the minutes:
\[ 223 + 14 + 34 = 271 \, \text{minutes} \]

Now, convert 271 minutes to hours and minutes:
- There are 60 minutes in an hour.
\[
\frac{271}{60} = 4 \, \text{hours} \, 31 \, \text{minutes}
\]

### Answer for part a:
\[ 271 \, \text{minutes} = 4 \, \text{hours} \, 31 \, \text{minutes} \]

---

### Problem b:
**61 hours 15 minutes ÷ 5**  
First, convert the time to only minutes:
\[
61 \, \text{hours} \times 60 = 3660 \, \text{minutes}
\]
Add the 15 minutes:
\[
3660 + 15 = 3675 \, \text{minutes}
\]
Now, divide by 5:
\[
\frac{3675}{5} = 735 \, \text{minutes}
\]
Convert 735 minutes back to hours and minutes:
\[
\frac{735}{60} = 12 \, \text{hours} \, 15 \, \text{minutes}
\]

### Answer for part b:
\[ 61 \, \text{hours} \, 15 \, \text{minutes} \div 5 = 12 \, \text{hours} \, 15 \, \text{minutes} \]
