Blueprint Dimension Conversions

You are a technical trainer at a manufacturing plant. A new apprentice is confused by a machine blueprint that lists certain part dimensions using rational exponents: 3612{}36^{\frac{1}{2}}, 813{}8^{\frac{1}{3}}, and 1614{}16^{\frac{1}{4}} millimeters. Write a short explanation for the apprentice detailing how to recall the rule for rewriting each of these three specific expressions into their radical forms, and state their final simplified whole-number values.
