Mohammed delivered ⅜ of the newspapers on his route in the first hour and ⅘ of the rest in the second hour. What fraction of all the newspapers did Mohammed deliver in the second hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

He delivered [tex]\sf {\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of the newspapers in the second hour.

Explanation:

[tex]\sf total \ newspapers: \ 1[/tex]

newspapers left to deliver after first hour:

[tex]\sf 1 - \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \frac{8-3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

in second hour:

[tex]\sf \frac{5}{8} * \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
