The question asks: "Which integer is closest to the cube root of 7 (³√7)?"

Let's break this down.

The cube root of 7 is the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals 7. To find this, we can approximate:

• 2³ = 8 (which is slightly larger than 7).
• 1³ = 1 (which is much smaller than 7).

Thus, ³√7 must lie between 1 and 2. Let's calculate a more accurate value:

The cube root of 7 is approximately 1.913.

The closest integer to 1.913 is 2.
