Question

Lexi went shopping before the start of the school year. She spent $8 on new clothes for every $3 she spent on school supplies. Pick the diagram that models the ratio in the story. Lexi spent $132 on clothes and school supplies in all. How much of that money was spent on clothes?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $96

Step-by-step explanation:

I just finished this there is a graph with 8 and 3. There are 11 graph boxes in all (you add the boxes/ amount  together to get how much total they are).  8 +3=11. Then you divide 132/11=12. You are looking for clothes, so you multiple 12x8=which equals 96. So she spent $96 on clothes
