Yes, it does make sense. You are being asked to find the \"cube root\" of $\"27%2Fy%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The \"cube root\" sign uses the same \"radical\" sign as the square root, but with a little 3 in the front.
\n" ); document.write( "You can also write the cube root as an exponent, thus:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2827%2Fy%5E6%29%5E%281%2F3%29\"$ You can rewrite this expression as factors.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%283%5E3%29%2F%28y%5E2%29%5E3%29%5E%281%2F3%29\"$ = $\"%28%283%5E3%29%5E%281%2F3%29%29%2F%28%28y%5E2%29%5E3%29%5E%281%2F3%29\"$ Multiply the exponents to get: $\"3%2Fy%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is: $\"3%2Fy%5E2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
