Answer

$4\sqrt[3]{3}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\frac{12}{\sqrt[3]{9}}$ Factor the numerator and the denominator. $=\frac{2^2\cdot 3^1}{\sqrt[3]{3^2}}$ Rewrite as an exponential expression. $=\frac{2^2\cdot 3^1}{3^{\frac{2}{3}}}$ Divide factors. Subtract exponents on common bases. $=2^2\cdot 3^{1-\frac{2}{3}}$ Simplify. $=2^2\cdot 3^{\frac{3}{3}-\frac{2}{3}}$ $=2^2\cdot 3^{\frac{3-2}{3}}$ $=2^2\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Rewrite as a radical expression. $=4\sqrt[3]{3}$.
