 |
|
| Sally (who is a hobo) goes around the street collecting old cigarette butts. She takes the cigarette butts and uses them to hand roll her own cigarettes. She has done this for so long, she knows that it will take her 7 cigarette butss to make one cigarette for herself. If she finds 49 cigarette butts how many cigarettes can she make?

Yes 49/7=7, but that means sally has seven cigarette butt and therefore can make one more so 7+1=8, or 49/(7-1) because each cigarette produces 1 cigarette butt

She makes 7 cigs from the 49 butts.
She smokes the 7 cigs.
She has 7 butts.
It takes 7 butts to make 1 cigarette.
She has 7 butts left over.
She can make 1 more cig.
(Original) 7 + 1 (from the original 7) = 8
