We are required to find the fraction of Earth radius is each type of crust

<em>Average radius of Earth</em> = 6,371 km

<em>Average thickness of oceanic crust</em> = 7.5 km

<em>Average thickness of continental crust </em>= 35 km

<em>fraction of Earth's radius is oceanic crust</em> = 7.5 km / 6,371 km

=

<em>fraction of Earth's radius is continental crust</em> = 35km / 6,731

=

Convert kilometer to mile
