URGENT! PLEASE HELP

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 3 million cubic kilometers of ice. If completely​ melted, this ice would release about 2.1 million cubic kilometers of​ water, which would spread out over​ Earth's approximate million square kilometers of ocean surface. How much would the sea level​ rise?

Answer:

Answer: 0.005523 kilometer = 5.52 meter In this case, you are asked how much the water height and given the water volume ( 1.9 million cubic kilometers) and the earth area (344milion square kilometers). To answer this question you just need to divide the volume with the area.
