Answer:

Option D: 1/3

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


(1)/(2)x-(1)/(6)x=(2)/(6)x

Simplify


(1)/(3)x

therefore

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