Planet Earth has a mass of 5.9726 × 10 24 kilograms. And although 70% of the Earth's surface is made of water, the water's mass is only 5 × 10 -4 percent of the Earth's total mass. Use scientific notation to estimate the mass of the planet's water. In your final answer, include all of your estimates and calculations.

Given parameters:

Mass of the earth = 5.9726 x 10²⁴kg

Mass of  percent water on earth  = 5 x 10⁻⁴% of the total mass of the earth

Unknown:

Mass of water on earth = ?

Solution

This is pretty straight forward;

     Mass of water on earth  = mass percent of water x mass of earth

Input the parameters and solve;

    Mass of water on earth  =  x 5.9726 x 10²⁴

                                           = 5  x 10⁻⁴ x 10⁻² x 5.9726 x 10²⁴

                                           = 5 x 5.9726 x 10⁻⁴⁺⁽⁻²⁾ ⁺²⁴

                                           = 29.863 x 10¹⁸kg

                    or 2.9863 x 10¹⁹kg

Mass of water on earth is 2.9863 x 10¹⁹kg

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5
