This question is incomplete; please find the complete question in the attachment.
Given :
Area of the snow cover = 72150 square miles
Depth of the snow = 8 inches
Volume of the Grand Canyon = 4.166 × 101² m³
Solution:
Area of the snow cover = 72150 square miles
≈ 72150 × 2589988 square meter
≈ 1.868 × 10¹¹ square meter
Depth of the snow = 8 inches ≈ 0.2032 m
Volume of the snow on this area = Area × depth of the snow
= 1.868 × 10¹¹ × 0.2032
= 3.796 × 10¹⁰ m³
Volume of the Grand Canyon = 4.166 × 10¹² m³
Percentage volume of the Grand Canyon filled by the snow
=
=
= 0.911%
