Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{3x^2y}}{xy}$

Work Step by Step

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