Once teacher in the class wrote 25 on the blackboard
She called Rita to subtract 1 from 25

iS
1. 25 - 1 = 24
Then Ajay was called to subtract 3 from 24
2. 24 - 3 = 21

27. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [5]
Cube and cube root is one of the most interesting concepts in Mathematics. Cube root is the factor of a number
that is multiplied by itself three times to get the resultant number.
When a given number is a perfect cube, we find its cube root as follows:
Step 1: Resolve the given number into prime factors.

3/4

For example 216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
Step 2: Make groups in triplets of similar factors.
216 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (3 × 3 × 3)
Step 3: Take the product of prime factors, choose one out of every triplet, and gives the cube root of the given
number.
Thus Cube root of 216 = 2 × 3 = 6.
