On a calculator enter 3 raised to the 1/3, should look like 3^(1/3), and you get 1.4424957. I don't really know why it comes out as this. (Whatever you do, don't turn 1/3 into a decimal as it will not work.)
Actually it shouldn't matter whether it's a decimal or fraction. (In fact the calculator probably converted 1/3 to decimal form as the first step in the calculation.)
If x is any positive number, and n is a positive integer, then x^(1/n) is the (n)th root of x. So, in this case, the is the 3rd root (i.e. cube root) of 3.
This "x^(1/n)= (n)th root of x" rule may look strange at first. But there are good reasons for it. If m and n are any integers, then x^(mn)=(x^m)^n. So it seems sensible to define ^ for non-integer indices, in such a way that this rule still holds (if possible). If we put m=1/n, we get
x^1=(x^(1/n))^n
But x^1=x, and so this rule tells us that x^(1/n) is an (n)th root of x.

What is one third of 3 to the sixth power?
One third of 3 to the sixth power can be calculated by first finding 3 to the sixth power, which is 3^6 = 729. Then, divide 729 by 3 to find one third of it. Therefore, one third of 3 to the sixth power is 729 divided by 3, which equals 243.
What is three to the power of minus one is?
3^-1 = 1 over (3 to the power of 1) = 1/3, one third. a minus power is the same as a normal power but with a 1 above it.
What is 3 to the third power multiplied by 4 to the third power?
3 to the third power (3^3) is equal to 27. 4 to the third power (4^3) is equal to 64. Combining the 2 answers (27*64) we have 1968.
What is the GCF of 18c to the third power and 24c to the third power?
GCF of 18c tothe third power and 24c to the third power is 6 c tothe third power.
Why is the third power of a number cubed?
Let the number be n.Then (n3)3 = n3 x 3 = n9.........or n to the power nine.However, if the question is what the the one-third power of a number cubed, then:(n3)1/3 = n3 x 1/3 = n1 = n
Is one yards to the third power bigger than twenty-seven feet to the third power?
I assume by one yard you mean one linear yard which is 3 feet 3 to the one third power (1.44) is a lot smaller than 27 to the third power(3.00) By the way, a cubic yard is 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cubic feet
What is one thirds to the third power?
1/3 to the power of 4 is 0.012346
What is 3 to the one half power times 9 to the one third power?

What is one fourth to the third power in a fraction?
1/4 to the third power = (1/4)3 = 1/64
What is 3 to the third power?
3 to the third power is 3 X 3 X 3 =27
