Question

Making use of the cube root table, find the cube root
0.86

Answer 1

The number 0.86 could be written as $\frac{86}{100}$.

Now

$\sqrt[3]{0.86}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{86}{100}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{86}}{\sqrt[3]{100}}$

By cube root table, we have:

$\sqrt[3]{86}=4.414\text{and}\sqrt[3]{100}=4.642$

$\therefore$ $\sqrt[3]{0.86}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{86}}{\sqrt[3]{100}}=\frac{4.414}{4.642}=0.951$ (upto three decimal places)

Thus, the required cube root is 0.951.
