Question

Moussa delivered 3/8 of the newspapers on his route in the first hour and 4/5 of the rest in the second hour. What fraction did he deliver in the second hour?

Answer 1

You would have to add 3/8 plus 4/5. 15/40 plus 32/40 equals 47/40 as a mixed nimber it would be 1 and 7/49

Answer 2

Moussa delivered $\boxed {\frac{1}{2} }$ of the newspapers in the second hour.

Further Explanation

Given:

• Moussa delivered $\frac{3}{8}$ of the newspapers in the first hour
• He delivered $\frac{4}{5}$ of the rest in the second hour

Question:

What fraction did he deliver in the second hour?

We can say that the total newspapers Moussa delivered is 1 (one), if in the first hour he delivered $\frac{3}{8}$ part, so the rest of the newspaper is:

$\boxed {1 - \frac{3}{8} }$

we can write $1 = \frac{8}{8}$

$\boxed {\frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8} }$

After first hour the rest of the newspaper is $\frac{5}{8}$. In the second hour he delivered $\frac{4}{5}$ of the rest:

\boxed {$\boxed {\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} }$

Thus, in the second hour, Moussa delivered $\boxed {\frac{1}{2} }$ of the newspaper.
