1.

9/11  ≤ x  ≤ 11/13

.8181 ...  ≤  x  ≤  .846153  ......

x =  5/6   =  .8333......

Nice answer, but how did you solve it?

I tried putting it in this form, but I don't know where to go from there.

1000a + 100b + 10c + d = (a+b+c+d)^3

Just  a little  trial and error, catng

21^3   = 9261      ⇒  sum =  18

20^3  = 8000       ⇒  sum = 8

19^3  = 6859       ⇒  sum   = 28

18^3  =  5832     ⇒  sum  = 18

Smart. :)

Surprisingly, cbrt(9999) isn't that big, I assumed there were a lot of cases.
