Answer 1

Answer:

70/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface of the earth covered with water = 7/10

Equivalent fraction of 7/10 with 100 as the denominator = 70/100

This means 70% of the earth surface is covered with water

Percentage covered with land = Total percentage - percentage covered with water

= 100/100 - 70/100

= 100-70/100

= 30/100

Percentage covered with land = 30%
