…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.

    So the ratio is 8:11, that means you flip it and multiple. 11 packs of tortillas get you 88 tortillas. 8 packs of cheese gets you 88 cheese. They don’t share a common denominator so that’s the lowest amount you can get without breaking a pack or getting spares.

    If they do share a common denominator you can reduce. For instance 8buns and 10 hotdogs means 8:10 or 4:5 making the equivalent point 40 of each.
