Though the only acceptable option here is 1,
since the square root of 9 can be 3 or -3, can I say "1 or -1" is the ultimate correct answer?

Oh... I just found that the square root from a positive number is always positive.
That explains what 1 is the only answer.

\(\small \frac{\sqrt[3]{27}}{\sqrt{9}}= \)


A. \( \small 1\)

B. \(\small 2\)

C. \( \small \sqrt{3}\)

D. \(\small \sqrt[3]{3}\)

E. \(\small \frac{1}{\sqrt[6]{3}}\)

Source: GMAP Prep
\(\small \frac{\sqrt[3]{27}}{\sqrt{9}}= \), Answer will be (A) 1

Or, \(\small \frac{\sqrt[3]{3^3}}{3}\)

Or, \(\frac{3}{3} = 1\)
