What is the cube root of 1.2?

Answer

∛1.2 ≈
1.0627

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 1.2.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 1.2 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛1.2 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

Between cubes
1³ = 1 < 1.2 < 8 = 2³, so 1 < ∛1.2 < 2 and ∛1.2 ≈ 1.0627

How to find ∛1.2 without a calculator?

Bracket it between cubes: 1³ = 1 < 1.2 < 8 = 2³, so ∛1.2 lies between 1 and 2. Narrowing the bracket digit by digit gives ∛1.2 ≈ 1.0627; 1.2 is not the cube of a decimal, so the root never ends.

Is ∛1.2 a rational number?

No: 1.2 is not the cube of a rational number, and the cube root of a fraction p/q in lowest terms is rational only when p and q are both cubes. So ∛1.2 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛1.2 ≈ 1.0627.
