Water makes up about 71% of Earth's surface, while the other 29% consists of continents and islands. 96% of all Earth's water is contained within the oceans as salt water, while the
remaining 4% is fresh water located in lakes, rivers, glaciers, and the polar ice caps.
If the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, what is the volume
of salt water? What is the volume of fresh water?

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives you numbers that you don't need to answer the question.

Salt water = 96/100 * 1,386 * 10^6 million km = 0.96 * 1386 * 10^6 = 1330560000 = 1.33056 * 10^9

You can find the fresh water amount by subtracting from 1385 * 10^6  which gives 1386 * 10^6 - 1.33056 * 10^9 = 55 440 000 cubic km

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
