About 53 gallons because the amount of salt water on earth is 93% and 3% for fresh water
Answer:
Option B, About [tex]53\\[/tex] gallons
Explanation:
As per the general consideration, it is said that nearly[tex]97[/tex]%of water on earth is salty water.
Since salty water is found in ocean we can assume that nearly [tex]97[/tex]% of water of planet earth is found in ocean.
Given,
The total water on planet earth is represented by a drum which consists of [tex]55\\[/tex] gallons of water.
Thus water (in gallons) in oceans would be equal to
[tex]\frac{97}{100} * 55\\= 53\\[/tex] gallons.
Thus, Option B, is correct.
