Answer

$3\sqrt[3]{2}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any real number $a$, $\sqrt[3]{a^3}= a$ Rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt[3]{2}$ to both the numerator and the denominator. Simplify using the rule above to obtain: $\require{cancel} =\dfrac{6 \cdot \sqrt[3]{2}}{\sqrt[3]{4} \cdot \sqrt[3]{2}} \\=\dfrac{6\sqrt[3]{2}}{\sqrt[3]{8}} \\=\dfrac{6\sqrt[3]{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2^3}} \\=\dfrac{6\sqrt[3]{2}}{2} \\=\dfrac{3\cancel{6}\sqrt[3]{2}}{\cancel{2}} \\=3\sqrt[3]{2}$
