Answer 1

Natasha completed
`(1)/(5)` more than Evan.

1 page more

Explanation:

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

`(3)/(5)+(2)/(5)=(5)/(5)=1`

oof her essay.

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

`1-(4)/(5)=(5)/(5)-(4)/(5)=(1)/(5)`

more than Evan.

3. In pages, Natasha completed 5 pages and Evan completed
`(4)/(5)` of 5 pages that is 4 pages. Thus, 5 - 4 = 1 page more.
