Answer: [tex]\dfrac{3}{16},\ \dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{7}{2}\ \text{inch}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Javier created a table for the amount of water evaporated in each week
After two weeks, the amount of water evaporated is
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{16}=\dfrac{3}{16}\ \text{inch}[/tex]
Total amount of water evaporated in four weeks is
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{3}{16}+\dfrac{2}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1+3+2}{16}=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{inch}[/tex]
If Javier originally puts 4 inches of water, amount of water left in the bucket
[tex]\Rightarrow 4-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4\times 2}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8-1}{2}=\dfrac{7}{2}\ \text{inch}[/tex]
