As they say, beggars can't be choosers, in fact begger take what they can get. A begger on the street can make one cigarette out of every 6 cigarette butts he finds. After one whole day of searching and checking public ashtrays the begger finds a total of 72 cigarette butts. How many cigarettes can he make and smoke from the butts he found?

It says 6 cigarette butts make up 1 whole cigarette.
72 cigarette butts divided by 6 equals 12 whole cigarettes..
