Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of Newspapers be x
Number of newspapers delivered in first hour of his route= [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of x
Total number of newspapers delivered in first hour= [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]x
Number of newspapers left= x-[tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex]
Number of newspapers left=[tex]\frac{8x-3x}{8}[/tex]
Number of newspapers left=[tex]\frac{5x}{8}[/tex]
Number of newspapers delivered in second hour=4/5 of[tex]\frac{5x}{8}[/tex]
Number of newspapers delivered in second hour=[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Fraction of newspapers delivered in second hour is=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
