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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Just do 72 divided by 6 and @Kalayn321 Do NOT give direct answers please.

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

One cigarette out of every 6 cigarette buts. One who day he finds 72 cigarette buts. You divide?

OpenStudy (beautifulmystery.):

xD

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

i hate when people give answers

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

\[\frac{ 72 }{ 6 }=?\]

OpenStudy (welshfella):

72 / 6 = 12 cigarettes but the butts from these wull make another 2 cigarettes so the correct answer is 14.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It most defiantly is 14

OpenStudy (beautifulmystery.):

IK the answer already

OpenStudy (beautifulmystery.):

14 If the begger can make a whole cigarette from 6 butts then he can make 12 cigarettes from the 72 he found. Once he smokes those, he then will have another 12 butts, which gives him enough to make another 2 cigarettes. A total of 14."

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

lol

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Tbh I didn't even think about the ones that would come from the other 12 xD

OpenStudy (welshfella):

@Kalayn321 Yes - but please don't just give the answer. Explain how you got it.

OpenStudy (benlindquist):
