The size of icebergs varies but one thing is common to all. Only a ….. part of an iceberg remains above sea-level.

one-fifth

three-eighths

two-leevenths

one-ninth

- Icebergs have a significant portion submerged under the water.

- Typically, about 10% of an iceberg is above the sea level.

- This means that the remaining 90% is hidden underwater.

- Let's explore the given options:

1. One-fifth: This implies 20% is above water. This is too large compared to the typical figure.

2. Three-eighths: This suggests about 37.5% is above water, which is much higher than usual.

3. Two-leevenths: This is an unusual fraction but closer to around 18%, still too high.

4. One-ninth: This equates to approximately 11% above water, which is the closest standard estimate.
