Here we will show you two different procedures you can use to calculate the cube root of 8 divided by the cube root of 16. In other words, we will show you how to calculate ∛8 ÷ ∛16 two different ways.
Procedure 1
This may be the most obvious procedure, where you first calculate the cube root of each number, and then divide the result, like this:
∛8 = 2
∛16 ≈ 2.5198
2 ÷ 2.5198 ≈ 0.7937
∛8 ÷ ∛16 ≈ 0.7937
Procedure 2
This procedure may be the fastest. Since ∛8 ÷ ∛16 is the same as ∛(34/56), you can first divide the numbers, and then find the cube root of the quotient, like this:
8 ÷ 16 = 0.5
∛0.5 ≈ 0.7937
∛8 ÷ ∛16 ≈ 0.7937
