Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{4}}{2}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any real number $a$, $\sqrt[3]{a^3}= a$ Rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt[3]{2^2}$ to both the numerator and the denominator. Simplify using the rule above to obtain: $\require{cancel} =\dfrac{1 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2}}{\sqrt[3]{2} \cdot \sqrt[3]{2^2}} \\=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{2^2}}{\sqrt[3]{2^3}} \\=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{4}}{2}$
