Math Problem Statement

Solve the expression: \( \left( \frac{1}{4} \cdot 4 - \frac{7}{8} \right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} \)

Solution

The expression in the image is:

(14478)43\left(\frac{1}{4} \cdot 4 - \frac{7}{8}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{4}

Let's solve it step by step:

Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses

14478\frac{1}{4} \cdot 4 - \frac{7}{8}

  • 144=1\frac{1}{4} \cdot 4 = 1
  • So the expression becomes: 178=8878=181 - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{1}{8}

Step 2: Find the cube root of 4

431.5874\sqrt[3]{4} \approx 1.5874

Step 3: Multiply the simplified results

1843=181.58740.1984\frac{1}{8} \cdot \sqrt[3]{4} = \frac{1}{8} \cdot 1.5874 \approx 0.1984

So, the approximate value of the expression is 0.19840.1984.
