Let

x--------> Juanita's allowance

we know that

1) Juanita spent \(3/4\) of her allowance at the mall

so

Juanita spent at the mall --------> \(\frac{3}{4}x\)

2) Of the money spent at the mall, \(1/2\) was spent on new earphones

so

Juanita spent on new earphones ------->\(\frac{3}{4}x*(1/2)=\frac{3}{8}x\)

therefore

the answer is

Juanita spend on earphones \(\frac{3}{8}\) of her allowance
