Respuesta :

calculista

Answer:

Hanan collect [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of a bag of clothes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> amount of clothing bag that Jenny collected

y ------> amount of clothing bag that Hanan collected

we know that

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}[/tex] -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{4})[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

therefore

Hanan collect [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of a bag of clothes
