A tramp collects end-stubs of cigarettes and makes one full cigarette with every 6 end stubs. If he gets 72 end stubs how many full cigarettes can he smoke?
12 cigs from the found stubs.
Then 2 more from the 12 new stubs.
To determine how many full cigarettes the tramp can smoke with 72 end stubs, we need to divide the total number of end-stubs by the number of end-stubs required to make one full cigarette.
In this case, the tramp can make one full cigarette with every 6 end-stubs. So, by dividing 72 by 6, we can determine the number of full cigarettes.
72 end-stubs ÷ 6 end-stubs per cigarette = 12 full cigarettes
Therefore, the tramp can smoke 12 full cigarettes with 72 end-stubs.
