About \(\frac{6}{8}\) of the Earth's surface is covered by water. About what fraction of the Earth's surface is not covered by water?
Answer (3)
8/8 - 6/8 = 2/8 =1/4 1/4 (25%) is the not amount Hope that helped!
About 6/8 of the Earth's surface is covered by water, which simplifies to 3/4 when reduced. To find the fraction of the Earth's surface not covered by water, you subtract this fraction from the whole. Since the whole is represented by 1, you would calculate 1 - 3/4 which equals 1/4. Therefore, approximately 1/4 of the Earth's surface is not covered by water.
Approximately 4 1 of the Earth's surface is not covered by water. This result is found by subtracting the fraction of the Earth's surface covered by water, which is 4 3 , from the whole, resulting in 1 − 4 3 = 4 1 . Therefore, about one-fourth of the Earth's surface consists of land.
