spells

Answer 1

Ginny casts 25 spells if Luna casts 20 spells

Answer 2

The number of spells Ginny casts when Luna casts 20 spells is 25

Explanation:

Luna and Ginny each cast magic spells.

The ratio of spells Luna casts to spells Ginny casts = 4:5

Let the ratio be x

So, Luna casts = 4x

Ginny casts = 5x

We are supposed to find what is the number of spells Ginny casts when Luna casts 20 spells

So, 4x=20

`x=(20)/(4)=5`

Ginny casts =
`5x = 5(5)=25`

Hence The number of spells Ginny casts when Luna casts 20 spells is 25
