Question

Jenny and Hanan are collecting clothes for a clothing drive. Hanan collected 1/2 as many bags of clothes as Jenny did. If Jenny collected 3/ 4 of a bag of clothes, what portion of a bag of clothes did Hanan collect?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hanan collect $\frac{3}{8}$ 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

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$ -----> equation A

$x=\frac{3}{4}$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

$y=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{4})$

$y=\frac{3}{8}$

therefore

Hanan collect $\frac{3}{8}$ of a bag of clothes
