Question:
Evaluate:
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{216}}$
Solution:
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{216}}$
By prime factorisation:
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{216}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{5 \times 5 \times 5}}{\sqrt[3]{(2 \times 2 \times 2) \times(3 \times 3 \times 3)}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{5 \times 5 \times 5}}{\sqrt[3]{(6 \times 6 \times 6)}}=\frac{5}{6}$
$\therefore \sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{216}}=\frac{5}{6}$
