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