Sunny windowsill

We place a cup of water on a sunny windowsill. After the first day, 3/2 centimeters of water evaporated. After the second day, another 4/3 centimeters of water evaporated. How much total water, in centimeters, evaporated from the cup after the first two days?

Final Answer:

t =  17/6 = 2 ⁵⁄₆ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$t=\frac{3}{2}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{9}{6}+\frac{8}{6}=\frac{9+8}{6}=\frac{17}{6}=\frac{17}{6}\text{cm}=2.8333\text{cm}$
