Answer:

1,440,000 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

We are told that 90% of the volume of an iceberg is below water. It means that 10% is above water. The proportion between the sunk/floating volumes is 90/10=9. The underwater volume of the iceberg is 9 times the above water volume. Thus, the volume of the iceberg below water is 9*160,000 = [tex]\boxed{1,440,000\ cubic feet}[/tex]
