What is the Cube Root of 0.175616?

We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓. In exponential form, ∛0.175616 is written as 0.175616^(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 0.175616, then y^3 can be 0.175616. Since the cube root of 0.175616 is an exact value, we can write it as 0.56.

Finding the Cube Root of 0.175616

Finding the cube root of a number involves identifying the number that must be multiplied three times to result in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 0.175616. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below: - Prime factorization method - Direct calculation - Estimation method - Halley's method To find the cube root of a number, we can use direct calculation since 0.175616 is a perfect cube.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Cube Root of 0.175616

Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Trying to find approximate cube roots for perfect cube numbers.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Students sometimes try to approximate cube roots even when the number is a perfect cube, such as 0.175616. To avoid this error, recognize that some numbers have an exact cube root, like 0.175616, which is 0.56.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Ignoring the exponent form

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Most of us might forget that the cube root can also be written in exponent form. For example, forgetting that the cube root of 0.175616 is 0.175616^(1/3). To avoid this error, always learn the forms in which we can express the cube root of a number.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing cube root with division

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Some might mistakenly assume that finding the cube root involves simple division. For instance, mistakenly assuming ∛0.175616 = 0.175616/3. To avoid this, remember that the cube root is the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Using estimation for perfect cubes

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Instead of using direct calculation for perfect cubes, students might try estimation. For example, they might try to estimate the cube root of 0.175616. Remember, direct calculation is more suitable for perfect cubes like 0.175616.

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Rounding too early

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Rounding the cube root too early in the process can lead to errors. For example, rounding 0.56 to 0.6 too early might lead to inaccurate results. To avoid this, complete the calculation before rounding the final result.

Cube Root of 0.175616 Examples:

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Imagine you have a cube-shaped container with a total volume of 0.175616 cubic meters. Find the length of one side of the container equal to its cube root.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Side of the cube = ∛0.175616 = 0.56 meters

Explanation

To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume. Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 0.56 meters.

Problem 2

A company needs 0.175616 cubic meters of a substance for a project. If they already have 0.05 cubic meters, how much more do they need?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The company needs 0.125616 cubic meters more.

Explanation

To find the additional amount needed, subtract the amount they have from the total required: 0.175616 - 0.05 = 0.125616 cubic meters.

Problem 3

A tank has a volume of 0.175616 cubic meters. If another tank with a volume of 0.1 cubic meters is added, what is the total volume?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The total volume of the combined tanks is 0.275616 cubic meters.

Explanation

To find the total volume, add the volume of both tanks: 0.175616 + 0.1 = 0.275616 cubic meters.

Problem 4

When the cube root of 0.175616 is doubled, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

2 × 0.56 = 1.12 The cube of 1.12 = 1.401728

Explanation

Doubling the cube root of 0.175616 significantly increases the volume because the cube of the new value grows exponentially.

Problem 5

Find ∛(0.1 + 0.075616).

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

∛(0.1 + 0.075616) = ∛0.175616 ≈ 0.56

Explanation

As shown in the question ∛(0.1 + 0.075616), we can simplify that by adding them: 0.1 + 0.075616 = 0.175616. Then, ∛0.175616 = 0.56 gives the answer.
