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?

Divide 72 by the number of cigarette butts it takes to make one whole cigarette.

72 / 6 = 12

Now we have 12 whole cigarettes, which gives us 12 more cigarette butts, which gives us 12 / 6 = 2 more whole cigarettes.

So he can make 14 cigarettes.
