The only way to make a decimal out of either of those numbers is to write a decimal point with some zeros after it.
500,000 = 500,000.000
60,000,000 = 60,000,000.00000
etc.
Number 3 is 1/6 to role a 1 on the second roll is 1/36= 1/6 X 1/6
to get 2 on the third role is 1/216 so the probability is 1/216
Answer:
a = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
A cube root is the same as a 1/3 power. The square of that gives a 2/3 power.
a = 2/3

<em>Additional comment</em>
You can see the relationship between a root index and an exponent if you consider what the root means.
Consider a cube root, for example. When you cube the root, you get the original number:
(∛x)·(∛x)·(∛x) = x
Now, let's write the root as a power of x: x^a.
(x^a)·(x^a)·(x^a) = x . . . . . where x^a = ∛x
We know this product is ...
x^(a+a+a) = x^(3a) = x^1
This tells us that ...
3a = 1 ⇒ a = 1/3
That is, ∛x = x^(1/3).
Of course an n-th root is multiplied by itself n times to get the original number, so the corresponding exponent is x^(1/n).
Keep change flip then simplify or divide if needed
