Um,
Is it:
$$64^{1/3}$$
Or
$$\dfrac{64^1}{3}$$

Do you have answer choices?

@Opcode Do you know how to help me with this mate? :)

anonymous · Answer

yea

opcode · Answer

Basically, you root the base (in this case 64) by the bottom number of the fraction (here it is 3), and then put that to the power of the top number (1). 
$$64^3 = 262144$$
$$4th \sqrt{262144} = 22.62$$
I cannot tell if I did that right or wrong sorry.
The way to get the fourth root is by square rooting twice.

anonymous · Answer

It was wrong ._. yeah.. I don't know how they want me to do that either. It's not too helpful when all they say is "Simplify the expression" .. It'd be nice if they said "Simplify the expression by ____" .. lol. But thanks anyways bro.

Sorry, mate.
Well I don't see any other way to do that question :-/.
Maybe that wanted the answer rounded?
Since it is 22.62 the six rounds it to 23?

anonymous · Answer

Possibly.

Well this sucks, I'll ask my teacher tomorrow on how to do stuff like that.
