1.
The cube root of .000216 is:
.6
.06
77
87
Answer: Option
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

6/102 can you people explain me how you got this step?

Narender said:   1 decade ago
Could tell me simple principle for this method ?

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

Why we get 1/3?

Parul said:   1 decade ago
Because cube root is equal to 1/3.
Like : cube root 9 is equal to 9^1/3.

Got it. Vikas.

Please tell me friends is there any short cut find cube root.

Easy method:

0.000216 = [216/10^6].

[0.000216]^1/3 = [216/10^6]^1/3.

= [6^3/10^6]^1/3.

= [6/10^2].

= 6/100=0.06.
