Precession is the wobble of Earth’s axis in a complete circle, which takes 25,700 years to complete one circle. How much of that circle is completed in one Earth year?

The correct figure is not included in the list of choices.

1 circle / 25,700 years  =  'x' of a circle / 1 year

  x = 1 / 25,700  =  0.0039 percent of that circle in 1 Earth year.
