t = total practice time
s = shooting practice time
d = dribbling practice time
s = ( 7 / 10 ) t = 0.7 t
d = t - s = t - 0.7 t = 0.3 t
d = 18 min
0.3 t = 18 Divide both sides by 0.3
t = 18 / 0.3 = 60 min
s = 0.7 t = 0.7 * 60 = 42 min
s = shooting practice time
d = dribbling practice time
s = ( 7 / 10 ) t = 0.7 t
d = t - s = t - 0.7 t = 0.3 t
d = 18 min
0.3 t = 18 Divide both sides by 0.3
t = 18 / 0.3 = 60 min
s = 0.7 t = 0.7 * 60 = 42 min
