Answer:

3/10

Explanation:

If Addison livers 1/5 of the newspapers in the neighborhood and I need a delivers 1/2 of them, the total fraction of paper used will be;

1/5 + 1/2

= (2+5)/10

= 7/10

The fraction of the paper left = 1 - 7/10

The fraction of the paper left = (10-7)/10

The fraction of the paper left = 3/10
