Question

Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water and remaining is covered by land. Find the percentage of land and water in the earth.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation & Answer

We know that

`(2)/(3)` = Water covering earth

`(1)/(3)` = Land covering earth

We know that there is more water than land.

We would need to find the percentage which is:

`(2)/(3)` = ?%

?% = 66.6666667% Or roughly 67%

`(1)/(3)` = ?%

?% = 33.33 or 33%

We can see 67% & 33% = 100%!

So the answer to you problem is,

Water covering earth: 67%

Land covering earth: 33%

Answer 2

About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered

and the rest of the percent is 29 percent

Explanation:

Area of land: 148 326 000 km2 (57 268 900 square miles), this are 29% of the total surface of Planet Earth. Area of water: 361 740 000 km2 (139 668 500 square miles), this are 71% of the total surface of the Earth.
