land covers 29.2 of the earth's surface or 43 508 000km2. how many square km is the earth's surface
and
water covers 70.8 of the earth's surface. how many sqaure km of water are on the earth's surface
I think you got some of your figures wrong!!. It is true that land covers 29.2% of the Earth's surface, which comes to about 149,000,000 Km^2. Therefore, the total surface area of the Earth is: 149,000,000/.292=~510,000,000 Sq.Km. Then you have:510,000,000 x .708=361,000,000 Sq.Km of water that covers the Earth's surface.
