    That equation is false.

    You might mean

    "3 times the cube root of 27 equals 9", which is true.

    As you have it written though, you are using a square root, not a cube root.

    well, you break √ 27 into √ 9 and √ 3. the square root of 9 is 3 so it would be 3(3)√ 3 so thats about 9, but not exact. do you understand?

    the cube root of 27 is 3.. 3 x 3 = 9... maybe it's meant be 3 x cube root 27 = 9 ?

    27 divided by 3 = 9

    9x3=27

    You may have copied this down wrong.

    The radical sign with a small 3 next to it means "cube root", and the cube root of 27 is 3. So perhaps there were some other symbols you missed.

    27 divided by nine is? 3.

    3 times 9 is? 27

    Therefor, 27 divided by 3 is 9.
