One way is counting only the singular forms of the word "sea", that is 33 occurrences. In that case, the "land":"sea" word count ratio is 12:33. And 12+33=45. The first question is why is it not 100? Why is it not already in percentage? Wouldn't it seem to be less of a coincidence if there was 71 occurrences of "water" and 29 occurrences of "land"? | |||
Let's do some math and convert the ratio to percentage to see whether we get the desired 29% land and 71% water percentages: | Let's do some math and convert the ratio to percentage to see whether we get the desired 29% land and 71% water percentages: | ||
