Answer:

Hanan collect
(3)/(8) of a bag of clothes

Explanation:

Let

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

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

we know that

y=(1)/(2)x -----> equation A

x=(3)/(4) -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

y=(1)/(2)((3)/(4))

y=(3)/(8)

therefore

Hanan collect
(3)/(8) of a bag of clothes
