42 minutes are spent on practicing flip tricks and 48 minutes are spent on practicing slides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total practicing time = 90 minutes

Ratio of time spent on flip tricks to slides = 7:8

Let,

x be the total time spent on flip tricks and slides, therefore,

Time spent of flip tricks and slides = 7x+8x = 15x

Total time spent practicing = 15x

$15x=90$

Dividing both sides by 15

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{90}{15}\\x=6$

Time spent of flip tricks = 7x = 7*6 = 42 minutes

Time spent on slides = 8x = 8*6 = 48 minutes

42 minutes are spent on practicing flip tricks and 48 minutes are spent on practicing slides.
