, so is between 4 and 5. In fact , so it is more than 4.5 and rounds to 5 (it is about 4.64).
Answer: C) 5
The blue dots on the number line are perfect cubes. Using them, what is ∛100 to the nearest whole number?

Key idea: Estimating cube roots
For non-perfect cubes, bracket the cube root between two consecutive integers.
Example: ∛100. We know and . So 4 < ∛100 < 5. Closer to 5 (100 is closer to 125 than 64). Refined estimate: ∛100 ≈ 4.64.
For perfect cubes, look at the last digit (last digit rule for cubes: each digit cubes to a unique last digit). 1→1, 2→8, 3→7, 4→4, 5→5, 6→6, 7→3, 8→2, 9→9, 0→0.
