Question 1089855: what is the verbal expression for 1/3a^3
Answer by math_helper(2461)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If one interprets your expression exactly as it is written, it is "One third of 'a' cubed."
—
If you intended the expression to be 1/(3a^3) then it is "The reciprocal of three times 'a' cubed."
——
Expect some people to come up with slightly different verbal expressions, for example:
1. Some might use "to the third power" instead of "cubed," which is fine.
2. Some might say "times" instead of "of," and that is fine also.
