Answer:


\huge \sqrt[6]{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify the radical expression:


\sqrt{\sqrt[3]{5}}

by rewriting the radicals as exponents:


\left(5^(1/3)\right)^(1/2)

Then, we can simplify using the power to a power exponent rule:


\displaystyle 5^{\left(\!(1)/(3)\cdot (1)/(2)\!\right)}


\displaystyle \implies 5^(1/6)

Finally, we can rewrite it again as a radical:


\huge\boxed{\sqrt[6]{5}}

Further Note

We can check our answer by plugging both the given and manipulated values into the calculator. Both yield approximately 1.307.
