At 2:00. What a difficult lenguaje. I'm from Catalonia and I'm losed. Can enybody explain what is he expleining?

Ferran, el senor pregunta que si Hermione puede levantar un plumaje de aves Treinta y Cinco pies en el aire, y lo levanta Cinco veces mas alto de lo que Ron lo levanta, cuanto mas lo levanta? Bueno la respuesta seria 7, porque cinco multiplcado por siete es treinta y cinco. Buena suerte Ferran con sus estudios.

can't we say 5 times 7 = 35

Yes, you can do it that way or you could do 7 times 5 = 35.

When we learn a harder division how can this even help?!

You will still need to do normal dovision

Video transcript

Ron and Hermione are practicing lifting feathers into the air with magic. Hermione can lift a feather 35 feet into the air, which is 5 times as high as Ron can lift a feather. How high can Ron lift a feather with his magic? So Hermione, this 35 feet is 5 times more than Ron. So to figure out what Ron can do, we just take what Hermione can do and divide by 5. So what's 35 divided by 5? Well, 5 times 7 is 35. So 35 divided by 5 is 7. So Ron can lift a feather 7 feet in the air. So let's check our answer. Now, if you have trouble with this-- and we could also look at the hints for this. So they show that Hermione can lift a feather 35 feet, which is 5 times higher than Ron. So this could be the length of how high Ron can raise it. And so, if you were to actually divide 35 into 5 equal sections, so 5 times question mark is 35, that's the same thing as saying 35 divided by 5 is question mark. And 35 divided by 5 is indeed 7.
