Sorry Guest, you got the wrong numbers too!
CORRECTED (DUE TO USING 4350800 MISTAKENLY INSTEAD OF 43508000)
29.2 /4350800 = 100/x
x = 100/29.2 * 43508000 = 149,000,000 sq km = Earth's surface total area (land surface is given as 43508000)
As a ratio: (TO FIND WATER SURFACE)
70.8/29.2 = x/ 43508000
x = 70.8/29.2 * 43508000 = 105,492,000 sq km is the water surface area
CHECK: TOTAL AREA - LAND AREA = WATER AREA
149000000 - 43508000 = 105,492,00 sq km OK! Finally !
