Answer 2

Answer:

To Find:-

• Fraction of newspaper delivered in second hour

Given:-

• ⅜ newspaper in first hour
• ⅘ of the rest newspaper in second hour

Solution:-

$\frac{3}{8} + \frac{4}{5}$

is the total amount of newspaper delivered by Him

$\frac{15 + 32}{40} \\ = \frac{47}{40}$

therefore he delivered 47/40 newspaper in total.

But we want the second hour

We know

Maximum number obtained by dividing a proper fraction is 1, therefore let the total be 1

$1 - \frac{3}{8 } = \frac{4}{5} \\ = \frac{8 - 3}{8} \\ \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{2}$

therefore the fraction is ½
