…I’d have to buy 7 packs of tortillas and 6 packs of cheese before coming close enough to matching 1:1 with only 1 cheese slice left at the end so just eat the last fucking cheese slice by itself.
And please don’t try to make too much sense of my diagram up there because I made 2 mistakes that only make sense to me & I don’t feel like explaining.
But what I REALLY want to know: If you’re aware of an algebraic method for solving this timeless hot dog bun vs hot dog conundrum, please share your wisdom.
Mathematically you’re looking for the “least common multiple”, which is in this case 8x11 because 11 is prime, so 8 packs of cheese, and 11 packs of tortillas, for 88 of each.
In case you have something with a common divisor, like imagine you had cheese in 10-packs instead, you could get away with 40 of each, because 4x10 is 40 and 5x8 is also 40, so just 4 10-packs of cheese and 5 8-packs of tortillas would already mat©h up.
Ah yes this scratches my mathematical itch. Thank you.
