Moussa delivered [tex]\boxed {\frac{1}{2} }[/tex] of the newspapers in the second hour.
Further Explanation
Given:
- Moussa delivered [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of the newspapers in the first hour
- He delivered [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] 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 [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] part, so the rest of the newspaper is:
[tex]\boxed {1 - \frac{3}{8} }[/tex]
we can write [tex]1 = \frac{8}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {\frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8} }[/tex]
After first hour the rest of the newspaper is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]. In the second hour he delivered [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] of the rest:
\boxed {[tex]\boxed {\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} }[/tex]
Thus, in the second hour, Moussa delivered [tex]\boxed {\frac{1}{2} }[/tex] of the newspaper.
