#Having trouble with simplifying cubic roots

I've already simplified the cubic root of 162 to 3xcubic root of 162
I'm having trouble with the last term, the 3/4, and I could simply multiply the first term by 2 to make it equalize the fraction of the 2nd term
I really don't know what to do with the last term (the 3/4).

(sorry for the image quality)

My first step would be to put the 1/2 in the cube root

empty siren
#

the 1/2? i don't think there is such a term in the prompt.

and (cube root 6)/2 is just cube root(3/4)

#

i hope u saw that

#

I did factor 162
I don't understand what you mean by your 2nd explanation tho

162 is 2 * 3^4

#

now

#

the second term

#

cube root 6 whole /2

#

for that u could send the 2 inside the cube root

#

it becomes

#

cube root(6/8)

empty siren
#

oh you can send the dividing 2 inside the root? i didn't know that

muted plinth
#

it doesnt alter the value..

empty siren
#

that means i can do the reverse on the 3rd term instead right?
