Question 15477
Do you by any chance mean to find the "cube root of 27"?? If so, using algebra.com notation, it is this:  {{{ root(3, 27)}}}.  It means, "What number cubed (times itself and times itself again!) would give you 27?"  Of course, before taking a cube root of ANY number, you should have these facts in front of you:


{{{2^3 = 8}}}
{{{3^3 = 27}}}
{{{4^3 = 64}}}
{{{5^3 = 125}}}


The clearly, the choice of what number cubed would be 27 is 3.  Final answer.  Now that I've gone on and on like this, I certainly hope this was your question.  If not, then feel free to repost it.


Also, I have several lesson plans that I need to make available on algebra.com.  I would have done it already, but I thought I already had.  For now, if you go to my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, then go to "Basic Algebra", then go to "Samples from Basic Algebra: One Step at a Time."  Then look for "Chapter 5".  The first two sections there will be exactly what you need to learn square roots and cube roots.
