Evaluate: 0.008^(2/3).

Explanation

• Spot the cube first: 0.008 = 0.2 × 0.2 × 0.2, so 0.008 = (0.2)³.
• Now the power is easy: ((0.2)³)^(2/3) = 0.2² = 0.04.
• Take the cube root before squaring. Working in that order keeps the numbers small and avoids errors.
• Option C 0.2 is only the cube root, so it stops one step too early.
• Counting decimal places is a fast check: 0.2 has one place, and squaring it must give two, which matches 0.04.
