Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Through trial and error, you should find that 6^3 = 216.

By extension, it means that 60^3 = 216,000.

Therefore, n = 60 is the solution to n^3 = 216,000

Another approach is to write the steps out like this

n^3 = 216000

n = (216000)^(1/3)

n = 60

The exponent 1/3 refers to the cube root.
