Question 938920: Volleyball practice on Monday is 10 minutes of stretches, 2/3 of the practice is scrimmaging, and the rest is working on drills. On Wednesday the practice was 100 minutes of stretches and scrimmaging. How long in hours is the entire practice?
I've tried a few different equations and none are making sense.
Thank you for your help.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
total practice time = x

10 + 2x/3 = 100
2x/3 = 90
2x = 270
x = 135

Practice is 2 hours and 15 minutes long, or 2.25 hours.
