Answer:

Natasha completed [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] more than Evan.

1 page more

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Natasha completed 3/5 of her essay in the morning and 2/5 of her essay in the afternoon. Thus, Natasha completed

[tex]\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}=1[/tex]

oof her essay.

2. Since Evan completed 4/5 of his essay after school, then Natasha completed

[tex]1-\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}-\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

more than Evan.

3. In pages, Natasha completed 5 pages and Evan completed [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] of 5 pages that is 4 pages. Thus, 5 - 4 = 1 page more.
