Explanation:

Hello,

In this question, you're asked to find the radical of a number. However in mathematics, the radical of a number simply means "√" and not directly square root of that number, its could be the cube root "³√" or even the fourth root "⁴√".

In this case, we're asked to find the 3 radical of p/q which means 3√(p/q)

P = 2.78×10¹¹

Q = 3.12×10⁻³

p / q = 2.78×10¹¹ / 3.12×10⁻³

p / q = 8.91×10¹³

The 3 radical = 3√(8.91×10¹³)

3√(p/q) = 44664.59503
