The fraction of Earth's radius (6371 km) relative to the thickness of the oceanic (7.5 km) and continental crust (35 km) is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.    

What we know:

  • The average radius of Earth (E) = 6371 km
  • The average thickness of oceanic crust (O) = 7.5 km
  • The average thickness of continental crust (C) = 35 km

We need to convert all the above units from kilometers to miles:

E = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*6371 km = 3958.9 mi

O = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*7.5 km = 4.7 mi

C = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*35 km = 21.7 mi

Now, we can calculate the fraction of Earth's radius relative to each type of crust, with the given equation:

X = \frac{avg. \: thickness}{avg. \: radius} \times 100

  • <u>For the oceanic crust (O)</u>:

X = \frac{4.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.12

  • <u>For the continental crust (C)</u>:

X = \frac{21.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.55

Therefore, the fraction of Earth's radius relative to the oceanic and continental crust is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.

I hope it helps you!

What temperature in degrees c is the freezing point of water?
guajiro [1.7K]
The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)

A horse gallops along a racecourse at a speed of 40 km/h. It takes the horse 3 minutes to run the length of the track.
Natali [406]

To convert minutes to hours we divide the minutes by 60. So if we divide 3 by 60 we get 0.05 hours.

<h3>How to convert minutes into hour?</h3>

We know that in hour, there are 60 minutes so if we go from minutes to hours then we have to divide the number by 60 and when we go from hours to minutes we multiply with the same 60 number.

So we can conclude that to convert minutes to hours we divide the minutes by 60. So if we divide 3 by 60 we get 0.05 hours.
