Answer:

4/5 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.


First, what you would want to do is to find the total amount of the liquid before anything evaporated.


2/5 + 2/3


Find a common denominator


6/15 + 10 / 15 = 16/15


Now you know that 16/15 cups is how much broth there was before anything evaporated. Now you want to find out how much broth there was after 1/4 cup evaporated.


To find this, multiply 16/15 × 1/4


You will get 4/15


Lastly, you want to subtract the amount evaporated from the amount that was already there.


16/15 - 4/15 = 12/15 = 4/5 cup
