julio cubes a number and then takes the cube root of the result. He ends up with 20. What number did julio start with?

Julio started with the number 8000.

To find the answer, let the original number be x.

Given that Julio cubes the number:
x^3

And then takes the cube root of the result, which equals 20:
∛(x^3) = 20

Cubing both sides:
x^3 = 20^3
x^3 = 8000

Therefore, the original number that Julio started with is 8000.

are you sure

Let's check the calculation:

Cube root of 8000 is indeed 20:
∛8000 = 20

So, the number Julio started with is 8000.
