Describe the amount of freshwater on earth and where it is used and stored

Biology
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
5 0

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, most of that three percent is inaccessible. Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps. The use for the water in the world is for household drinking water. The ocean stores about 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is stored in glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 332 million cubic miles of water, about 97 percent is stored in the ocean.

Hope this helps!

What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.4\ \frac{1}{m}

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the surface area of a sphere

y ---> the volume of a sphere

we know that

The ratio of surface area to volume of a sphere is equal to divide the surface area by the volume of the sphere

\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=588\ m^2\\y=1,372\ m^3

substitute the values

\frac{588}{1,372}=0.4\ \frac{1}{m}

What is 48% expressed as a fraction in simplest form?
Gekata [30.6K]
In order to turn percent to a fraction, first, we write it as 48/100. Then, from there we simplify it to the simplest form.

48/100 = (48/4) / (100/4) = 12/25

So, 48% <span>expressed as a fraction in simplest form is 12/25.</span>
