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 = $<<8*6=48.00>>48.00
