Answer:The answer is 0.125. Explanation:

Let the Total number of T-shirts be x

Number of Blue T-shirts that are blue

= x * 3 : 5 = 3x : 5

Number of Blue T-shirts marked down

= x * 3:5 * 5:8 = 3x:8

Number of Blue T-shirts that are marked down and are of medium size

= 3x : 8 * 1:3

= x : 8

The answer comes out to be 1:8.
