To get the fraction of news papers delivered in the second hour we proceed as follows:

fraction delivered in the first hour=3/8

Remaining fraction is (1-3/8)=5/8

Given that in the second hour he delivered 4/5 of 5/8, then the fraction delivered in the second hour will be:

4/5 of 5/8

=4/5×5/8

=1/2

He delivered 1/2 of the papers in the second hour.
