Answer:

64?

Explanation:

Basically the idea is we suppose the number she thinks of is "x"

She says that if she cube roots the number and then quadruples it (means multiply by 4 I think) she gets 16. We set this up as equation below:


4\sqrt[3]{x} = 16\\\sqrt[3]{x} = 4\\x = 4^(3)\\ x= 64

This is my best guess, not totally sure sorry
