By writing \displaystyle 0.0\text{27 } as \displaystyle \text{27}\cdot \text{1}0^{-\text{3}}, where \displaystyle \text{27}=\text{3}\cdot \text{3}\cdot \text{3}=\text{3}^{\text{3}} and \displaystyle 10^{-3}=\left( 10^{-1} \right)^{3}=0.1^{3} we see that


\displaystyle \begin{align} & \sqrt[3]{0.027}=\sqrt[3]{27\centerdot 10^{-3}}=\sqrt[3]{27}\centerdot \sqrt[3]{10^{-3}}=\sqrt[3]{3^{3}}\centerdot \sqrt[3]{0.1^{3}} \\ & =3\centerdot 0.1=0.3 \\ \end{align}


where we have used \displaystyle \sqrt[3]{a^{3}}=\left( a^{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=a^{3\centerdot \frac{1}{3}}=a^{1}=a
