97% of water on the Earth is salt water, and only 3% is fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
In lakes, rivers and ponds...
3 percent out of 100 percent = 0.03 x 100 percent = 3 percent
3 percent percent of 892 is 0.2676
3 percent of 40000 percent = 12
Not very much. Freshwater makes up only about 2% of the entire Earth.
No, all the freshwater rivers out together in the world only make up 3% of the world's freshwater!
Ice is technically freshwater so in glaciers, and some lakes or ponds are freshwater.
In a way, 72% of Earth approx. is covered in water. Only 3% is freshwater. So only 4% of earth is freshwater. 2/3 of that 3% is locked in ice caps. So 2.7% of earths water is frozen. Only .75% of Earths water is in rivers. That is hardly 1% of space on Earth. The rest is frozen in Glaciers, which is .25%. Only .03% of Earth is made up of Glacial ice.
11 percent is fresh water. The other 88 percent is polluted with semen.
Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the Earth's total water supply. However, much of this is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. Only a small fraction (about 0.3%) of the Earth's water is freshwater available for human use in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
around 70 something percent but im not sure so anyone else should edit it to give u a more exact answer dude u were like SO wrong its not even funny only like 3% of earths water is freshwater there u go 70% is way off she/he was talking about FRESHWATER
97% of water on the Earth is salt water, and only 3% is fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
It's because they have 97 percent of salted water and 2 percent of iced water and only 1 percent of freshwater

Earth has a limited amount of freshwater because most of the planet's water is saltwater in oceans. The remaining freshwater is contained in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, leaving only a small percentage available for human use. Climate change and pollution are also putting additional pressure on the freshwater resources we have.
97% of Earth's water comes from the oceans, which contain saltwater. Only about 3% of Earth's water is freshwater, found in sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
