What is the cube root of 2.5?

Answer

∛2.5 ≈
1.3572

Real cube root: the only number whose cube is 2.5.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. 2.5 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛2.5 is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

2.5 = 5/2.

Between cubes
1³ = 1 < 2.5 < 8 = 2³, so 1 < ∛2.5 < 2 and ∛2.5 ≈ 1.3572

∛2.5 ≈ 1.3572

How to find ∛2.5 without a calculator?

Bracket it between cubes: 1³ = 1 < 2.5 < 8 = 2³, so ∛2.5 lies between 1 and 2. Narrowing the bracket digit by digit gives ∛2.5 ≈ 1.3572; 2.5 is not the cube of a decimal, so the root never ends.

Is ∛2.5 a rational number?

No: 2.5 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 ∛2.5 is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛2.5 ≈ 1.3572.
