1. 

The cube root of .000216 is:

[A]. .6[B]. .06
[C]. 77[D]. 87

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

(.000216)1/3 = 216 1/3
106

   = 6 x 6 x 6 1/3
102 x 102 x 102

   = 6
102

   = 6
100

   = 0.06

Its wrong it is .006

Hey Murali! you are confused. Have a look.

We write 6/10= 0.6, 6/100= 0.06.

Its clear.

Ya correct.

See guys the simple technique is just watch the last digit i.e 6.

Now multiply the last digit in the options that should be tally with the last digit in the question.

Now observe total no of zeroes after .(decimal)

Got it?

Why divided 216 by 10(6) and after that 6*6*6
---------
10(2)*10(2)*10(2)
I cant understand this solution...

Afrin said: (Tue, Jun 7, 2011 07:31:29 AM)    
 
Why 6/10 (2) ?

Pravin Raj said: (Sun, Jul 31, 2011 07:41:14 PM)    
 
Obviously its corret.

Naseer please can you elaborate your solution.

Is there any shortcuts for finding cube roots and square roots? It there please tell me.

Always keep in mind that a cube root of six digit number is two digit number so cube root of .000216 is .06 and not .6.

Thanks namrata.

Thanks namarta.

Murali said: (Fri, Nov 25, 2011 12:20:54 AM)    
 
6/102 can you people explain me how you got this step?

Narender said: (Tue, Nov 29, 2011 11:15:35 AM)    
 
Could tell me simple principle for this method ?

Jyothis said: (Thu, Jan 5, 2012 06:38:47 PM)    
 
It is a simple problem
(0.000216)= (216/10^6)
(216/10^6)= ((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))
By taking the cube root now
((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))^(1/3)= (6/10^2)
6/100=0.06ans
