Complete Question

Water covers 70.8%, or about 3.61 × 10⁸ km², of the Earth's surface. Approximate the total surface area of the Earth. (Round your answer to the nearest million.)

510,000,000 million km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total surface area of the earth as = x

We are told in the question that:

Water covers 70.8%, or about 3.61 × 10⁸ km², of the Earth's surface.

70.8% = 0.708

Hence,

0.708 × x = 3.61 × 10⁸

x = 3.61 × 10⁸/0.708

x = 361000000/0.708

x = 509,887,005.65km²

Therefore, the total surface are the earth approximately to the nearest million = 510,000,000 million km²
