the riddle still stands

there's this old lady who loves to smoke, but she can't afford cigarettes. so she collects cigarette butts and makes cigarettes out of them. if she collects 7 cigarette butts, she can make 1 cigarette. so, if she collects 49 cigarette butts, how many cigarettes can she make?

The lady could smoke eight cigarettes. She can make 7 from the 49 butts she finds. And from those 7 cigarettes, she will have enough butts to create one additional cigarette.
