    Whoever posted the previous answer got his math wrong and did not answer the question that was posed.
    The question asked proportions of MASS, not surface area( 71%), that I assume the previous poster tried to answer.
    Ready for this....water in it's liquid state accounts for 1.35 quintillion (1.35 × 10^18) metric tons, or about 1/4400 of the total mass of the earth. This is 0.04 % of the earth's mass. Note I say liquid state.

    1/3. One part land, three parts water.
