Question

30% <---- i think its this one...
68.7%

Answer 1

Hi Kristy,

There must be more to this question, as you have not said what "other source" is or isn't?

But only about 2% of water on Earth is freshwater. So I am guessing it must be 0.9%.

Answer 2

@Brendan123

I see your reasoning and it could be 0.9% (again we don't know until we understand what 'other source' includes), but this indicates the percentage of freshwater, so the fact that only 2% of water is freshwater shouldn't have an impact on the answer.

Even if only 2% of water on earth is freshwater, 30% of freshwater could be from 'other sources' (This would be 30% of the 2% that is freshwater).

Anyway, I'm not completely sure, I may be wrong :)

Answer 3

That is true! I guess we will just have to wait until we get the rest of the question :)
