Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of fresh water = 3.5 * 10^7 cubic kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Total water on earth = 1.4×10^9 cubic kilometers

If 2.5% of it is fresh water

Amount of fresh water = 2.5% of 1.4×10^9

Amount of fresh water = 0.025 * 1.4×10^9

Amount of fresh water = 0.035 * 10^9

Amount of fresh water = 3.5 * 10^7 cubic kilometers
