<span>(243)^(2/5) = ?
---
The 5 in the denominator means "take the 5th root".
The 2 in the numerator means "square".

</span><span>Taking the 5th root first you get:
(243)^(2/5) = 3^2
Now squaring gives you
3^2 = 9
So the answer is 9.
Hope this helps :)

Write them in order from least to greatest,
11.9, 12.0, 12.3, 12.4, 12.4, 12.5, 12.7,12.8, 12.9, 13.1, 13.2, 13.8
then eliminate one from each side until you find the middle one,
12.5, 12.7
you have two middle, so you find the middle number in between them.
12.6 is the median.
