Answer:
(3)/(16),\ (1)/(2), (7)/(2)\ \text{inch}

Explanation:

Given

Javier created a table for the amount of water evaporated in each week

After two weeks, the amount of water evaporated is


\Rightarrow (2)/(16)+(1)/(16)\\\\\Rightarrow (2+1)/(16)=(3)/(16)\ \text{inch}

Total amount of water evaporated in four weeks is


\Rightarrow (2)/(16)+(1)/(16)+(3)/(16)+(2)/(16)\\\\\Rightarrow (2+1+3+2)/(16)=(8)/(16)\\\Rightarrow (1)/(2)\ \text{inch}

If Javier originally puts 4 inches of water, amount of water left in the bucket


\Rightarrow 4-(1)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow (4* 2)/(2)-(1)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow (8-1)/(2)=(7)/(2)\ \text{inch}
