The thermoshpere is 415 km deep. Calculate the percent of the atmosphere made up by the thermosphere if the total atmospehere extends 500 km.

Question

I need to show my work ~ help!
thank you so much!

Answer 1

You divide 415 by 500.

415/500=.83

Convert the decimal to percent so .83=83%.

I wish I could show my work for 415/500, but that's kinda hard to do on the computer.

Answer 2

Thank you Bobby you are a life saver!

Answer 3

No problem.

Answer 4

Thank you. My son had the same problem tonight. Thanks....

Answer 5

No the answer is 85 because, you subtract 500-415=85.
