Question

For a science fair project javier is recording the amount of water that evaporate from a bucket in a month he creates a table like this i will give point for the best answer

week 1 2/16 inch

week 2 1/16 inch


week 3 3/16 inch

week 4 2/16 inch

how much water had evaported from the bucket at the end of week 2

what was the total amount of water that evaported in the four weeks

if javier orignally put 4 inches of water in the bucket how many inches of water were left after the experment was completed

Answer 1

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}`
