Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

(a) 708

We observe that 262 <708 <272

The number to be added

272 – 708

= 729 – 708 = 21

Then, 708 would become

708 + 21 = 729 and

√729 = 27

Hence, 27 must be added

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3

3√216 = 2 × 3 = 6

The cube root of 216 is 6

(c) 1728

= 4 × 4 × 4 × 3 × 3 × 3

3√1728 = 4 × 3 = 12

The cube root of 1728 is 12

(d) – 4 17/27

= – (125/27)

= – (5 × 5 × 5/3 × 3 × 3)

– 3√125/27 = – 5/3

The cube root of -4 17/27 is -5/3

(e) 0.027

= 27/1000

= 3 × 3 × 3/10 × 10 × 10

3√0.027 = 3/10 = 0.3

The cube root of 0.027 is 0.3

(f) – 0.216

= – 216/1000

= – 6 × 6 × 6/10 × 10 × 10

– 3√0.216 = – 6/10 = 0.6

The cube root of -0.216 is 0.6

(g) 0.001331

= 1331/1000000

= 11 × 11 × 11/100 × 100 × 100

3√0.001331 = 11/100 = 0.11

The cube root of 0.001331 is 0.11

(h) 0.002744

= 2744/1000000

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7/100 × 100 × 100

∴ 3√0.002744 = 2 × 7/100

= 14/100

= 0.14

The cube root of 0.002744 is 0.14
