a perfect cube
27 is a perfect cube.
That's a perfect cube.
It could be 27 because 3*3*3 = 27
No, it's not. The cube root of 16 is just under 2.52

How about 27 whose cube root is 3 which is a rational whole number.

"Most of the time" is somewhat problematic, since we are dealing with infinite sets of numbers. But it is tempting to say that. The fact is, any number can be a cube root, since you can cube any number by multiplying it by itself twice. But the cube root of a whole number is always either a whole number or an irrational number. And it is true that if N is any reasonably large whole number (say, 1000 or more), the majority (in fact, at least 99%) of the whole numbers from 1 to N have irrational cube roots.Answer 1No. Most of the time it's an irrational number.
