Easy method:
0.000216 = [216/10^6].
[0.000216]^1/3 = [216/10^6]^1/3.
= [6^3/10^6]^1/3.
= [6/10^2].
= 6/100=0.06.
0.000216 = [216/10^6].
[0.000216]^1/3 = [216/10^6]^1/3.
= [6^3/10^6]^1/3.
= [6/10^2].
= 6/100=0.06.

It is a simple problem:
(0.000216) = (216/10^6).
(216/10^6) = ((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2)).
By taking the cube root now.
((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))^(1/3) = (6/10^2).
6/100 = 0.06 Answer.
(0.000216) = (216/10^6).
(216/10^6) = ((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2)).
By taking the cube root now.
((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))^(1/3) = (6/10^2).
6/100 = 0.06 Answer.

How to get 1/3?

@Sridhar.
Actually square root means 1/2 and cube root means 1/3.
We should find the 1/3 of 0.000216.
To eliminate point and 0's we should need 10^6 so it is.
216/10^6 = ((6*6*6)/(10^2*10^2*10^2))1/3.
= ((6^3)/((10^2)^3)).
= 6/10^2 = 6/100.
= 0.06.

I don't understand how you got 6\10^2 please I need a better explanation from that point.

0.000216 just take the cube for 216.
216 is the cube root of 6.
After the decimal point we have three zeros.
i.e. 216/1000 so every two zero we should consider one zero its come like this 0.06.

Very sort method.
(216/10^6)^1/3 = (6^3/10^6)^1/3.
= 6^3*1/3/10^6*1/3.
= 6/10^2 = 6/100 = 0.06 Answer.
(216/10^6)^1/3 = (6^3/10^6)^1/3.
= 6^3*1/3/10^6*1/3.
= 6/10^2 = 6/100 = 0.06 Answer.
