Answer 1

Answer:

Natasha completed $\dfrac{1}{5}$ 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

$\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}=1$

oof her essay.

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

$1-\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}-\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

more than Evan.

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