Answer this question:Maria buys a large bar of French soap that lasts her for 2 months. She spends $8.00 per bar of soap. If she wants to stock up for the entire year, how much will she spend on soap?
1 bar of soap will last for 2 months and there are 12 months in 1 year so she needs 12 / 2 = 6 bars of soap. Each bar of soap is $8.00 and she needs 6 bars so that's a total of 8 * 6 = $48.00.
The answer is 48.

Answer this question:Four adults with 32 teeth went to the dentist for a checkup after realizing they were having severe tooth pain. They were found to have different numbers of damaged teeth, and each person had some teeth removed. The first person had 1/4 of all his teeth removed, and the second person had 3/8 of his teeth removed, the third person had half of his teeth removed, while the last person only had 4 teeth removed. What's the total number of teeth removed at the dental clinic?
The first person had 1 / 4 of all his teeth removed, a total of 1 / 4 * 32 = 8 teeth. The second person had 3 / 8 of his teeth removed, meaning 3 / 8 * 32 = 12 of his teeth were removed. Together, the first and the second person had 12 + 8 = 20 teeth removed in total. The third person had half of his teeth removed, which were 1 / 2 * 32 = 16 teeth. The first three people had a total of 20 + 16 = 36 teeth removed from their mouth. The last person only had 4 teeth removed, bringing the total number of teeth removed at the dentist clinic to be 36 + 4 = 40 teeth.
The answer is 40.

Answer this question:Kristin can run three times faster than Sarith. If Kristin runs 12 times around the adult football field and Sarith runs at the same time around the children's football field that is half the distance as the other field, how many laps did Sarith go around the children's football field?
Sarith would run around the adult football field, 12 laps / 3 = 4 laps. So on the children's football field, she managed to run, 4 laps * 2 = 8 laps.
The answer is 8.

Answer this question:Since Jason started investing, he has earned the same amount he invested twice over in 5 months. If Jason's investment currently is worth $90, how much has he been earning per month from his investment assuming he has been earning an equal amount of returns each month?
Let's say Jason invested x amount of money. Since Jason started investing, he has earned the same amount he invested twice over in 5 months, meaning he has earned x + 2 * x = $90. This evaluates to 3x = $90. The total amount of money that Jason invested is x = $90 / 3. Jason invested x = $30. The total amount of money that Jason has earned from his investments is $90 - $30 = $60. If he earned an equal amount of money from the investment in five months, his monthly returns is 60 / 5 = $12.
The answer is 12.
