So, Tory practiced basketball shots for 2/3 hour. Now, Tim practiced basketball shots for 3/4 as much time as Tory did. To find out how long Tim practiced, we can multiply 3/4 by the time Tory practiced.

Since Tory practiced for 2/3 hour, we can calculate Tim's practice time as follows:

Tim's practice time = (3/4) * (2/3) hour

To simplify this, we can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

Tim's practice time = (3 * 2) / (4 * 3) hour

The numerator simplifies to 6, and the denominator simplifies to 12:

Tim's practice time = 6/12 hour

We can further simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:

Tim's practice time = 1/2 hour

So, Tim practiced basketball shots for 1/2 hour.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
