Answer:

Yes, you can find the cube root of a negative number. The answer will be negative!

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: Find the cube root of -27

We know that a cube root is a number multiplied by itself 3 times (NOT MEANING THE NUMBER TIMES 3)

For example, The cube root of 27 positive is 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

But if we are using a negative number: It is really different because we got to know the rules.

The setup: -3 x -3 x -3 = -27

If we started with -3 x -3 first we know that a negative times a negative equals positive so the answer will be 9 positive, then we have this equation left:

9 x -3 = -27

The rule with this is a number times a negative is negative, so the answer of the question "Find the cube root of -27 is -3"

Matthew made a fruit salad, in which the ratio of blueberries to red grapes is 8:6. Write the ratio of red grapes to blueberries
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 3:4

Step-by-step explanation: There are 6 red grapes and 8 blueberries. So this would make the ratio 6:8 normally. You want to find the biggest number that goes into 6 and 8, which is 2. You divide both by 2 and get 3:4, since both don't have a big number that goes into both, your answer is 3:4
