A student wanted to learn about evaporation by conducting a science experiment. The student took 2 identical small deep trays and 2 identical large shallow trays. In one of the small trays, the student placed 3 cups of fresh water. In the second small tray, the student placed 3 cups of saltwater. In the first large tray, the student placed 3 cups of fresh water. In the second large tray, the student placed 3 cups of salt water. What do you think will be the MOST LIKELY outcome of the experiment?

• The small tray with the salt water will evaporate the quickest.

• The large tray with the salt water will evaporate the quickest.

• The large tray with the fresh water will evaporate the quickest.

• The small tray with the fresh water will evaporate the quickest.
