It's 25-

Hmm apparently my brain is not working but I *think* it is 36… you’d have to show your work for the answer lol

Hey, don't attack me, I tried different answers but the program thingy said the answer was 25 :^

Not trying to attack you, just curious how you got 25

Let me go look through the thing again-
Gimme a sec

Sometimes when you are at advanced maths and you go back to other types of maths it seems so easy but you get it wrong lol

Reducio

One way to work out these sorts of questions is to work out the total amount of parts by counting them (9 parts total). Then divide the total number of spells by the number of parts (45/9=5). Each part is therefore worth 5 spells. Ginny has 5 parts. 5 parts, with 5 spells per part, means that Ginny casts 25 spells total (5 spells * 5 parts = 25 total spells). Does that make sense?

I think Lucia`s explanation is pretty clear! Btw, I just finished a 570-word post!
