Continental crust as compared to the oceanic crust


If a block of continental crust and a block of oceanic crust are both 10 km thick and are "floating" on the aesthenosphere, how much higher is the top of the continental crust as compared to the oceanic crust? Density (ρ) = Mass/Volume

Continental crust density = 2.7 g/cm^3

Oceanic crust density = 2.9 g/cm^3

Aesthenosphere density = 3.3 g/cm^3
