Question 188299
"Between which 2 consecutive whole numbers dose the fifth root of 250 lie?" 
I'm not quite sure how to solve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please show you work/explain it.
------------------
You can use a calculator to find the 5th root of 250.
250^(1/5) = ~ 3.017...
So it's between 3 and 4.
------------------------
You can raise numbers to the 5th power until you get more than 250.
2^5 = 32
3^5 = 243
4^5 = 1024
250 is between 243 and 1024, so...
