f[m_] := 1/Rationalize[N[m^(1/3)], 0] + 2;

Table[f[m], {m, 10}]

{3, 818099381/292837179, 160180721/59472423, 
  261314795/99360729, 319745309/123701977, 
  400834502/157170203, 315222994/124951739, 5/2, 
  342055810/137884039, 435566974/176760913}

If the 2 was actually intended to be be part of the denominator then

g[m_] := 1/(Rationalize[N[m^(1/3)], 0] + 2);

Table[g[m], {m, 10}]

{1/3, 232425023/757687225, 41235875/141944173, 
  62593337/224547403, 72341355/268384687, 
  86494096/330158395, 65319516/255590771, 1/4,
