Concept used:

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below:

image (4) (1)

\(\frac{{7.2}}{{\sqrt[3]{{0.729}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( ? \right)}^3}}}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{{7.2}}{{\sqrt[3]{{\frac{{729}}{{1000}}}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( ? \right)}^3}}}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{{7.2}}{{\sqrt[3]{{{{\left( {\frac{9}{{10}}} \right)}^3}}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( ? \right)}^3}}}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow {\rm{\;}}\frac{{7.2}}{{\sqrt[3]{{{{\left( {0.9} \right)}^3}}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( ? \right)}^3}}}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{{7.2}}{{0.9}} = \frac{{{{\left( ? \right)}^3}}}{{{{\left( 2 \right)}^3}}}\)

⇒ 8 = (?)3/(2)3

⇒ (2)3 = (?)3/(2)3

⇒ 23 × 23 = (?)3

⇒ 43 = (?)3

⇒ ? = 4

∴ The value of ? is 4.
