For this case, we have that by definition:


(-0.5) ^ 3 = -0.125

Then we can rewrite the given expression as:


\sqrt [3] {(- 0.5) ^ 3}

For properties of roots we have that:


\sqrt [n] {(a) ^ n} = a

So:


\sqrt [3] {(- 0.5) ^ 3} = - 0.5

So, we have to:


\sqrt [3] {- 0.125} = - 0.5

ANswer:

Option A
