You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=amount of freshwater on earth\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets first look at a more simple version of the problem:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If there are 10 people on Earth and there is enough freshwater to provide each person with 2 L, how much freshwater is on the Earth?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Our equation to solve is the amount of water per person times the number of people=the amount of fresh water on earth:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%2A10%5E9%29%288.79%2A10%5E5%29=x\" remember,when you multiply exponents you add them\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%286%29%288.79%29%29%2A10%5E14=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"52.74%2A10%5E14=x\" or
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.274%2A10%5E15=x\"-----------------------# of liters of fresh water on earth\r
