Question 8027: Hope someone can help me with this.
The question I have is BUT there is a "12" sitting on top of the tip of the square root (like an index to the square root).
I know the answer is 1.01389 but I don't know how to get the answer manually or using a calculator.
Any help would be most appreciated!

If you want to use a calculator for this, then you would enter:
1.18^(1/12)
Another way is to use logarithms. I don't know whether or not you are familiar with logarithms, but here it is.
Let: Raise both sides to the 12th power.
Take the log of both sides.
Divide both sides by 12.
Rewrite in exponential form.

Round to fifth decimal place.
