Answer:

1/50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. On Monday, Jackie used  [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] of a bag of oranges.

2. On Tuesday, she used [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] as many oranges as she did on Monday.

To find out how many bags of oranges she used on Tuesday, we need to multiply the fraction of a bag she used on Monday by [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] (since she used  [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] as many oranges on Tuesday).

So,  [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] of a bag on Monday multiplied by [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] equals [tex]\dfrac{1}{50}[/tex]  of a bag on Tuesday.

Therefore, Jackie used [tex]\dfrac{1}{50}[/tex]  of a bag of oranges on Tuesday.
