B: 1/2

C: 1/6

D: 1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the entire Stefanie's allowance

we know that

She spends on clothes (1/2)x

She spends on movies (1/6)x

To find out how much more does she spend on clothes that he does on movies, subtract the amount she spends on movies from the amount she spend on clothes

$\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{2}{6}x$

Simplify

$\frac{1}{3}x$

therefore

She spends 1/3 more on clothes that he does on movies
