Answer:

171 cubic kilometers

Explanation:

IN order to solve this we just have to make a simple rule of three, where the 2,850,000 cubic kilometers will be the 100% and we want to calculate how many cubic kilometers will ,006% be:

\frac{2,850,000}{100}= \frac{x}{,006}\\ x=\frac{2,850,000*,006}{100}\\ x= 171

So every year the Greenland Ice Sheet looses 171 cubic kilometers of ice.

0.006% = 0.006/ 100 = 0.00006 ;

0.00006 * 2,850,000 km³ = 171 km³  per year.
