First, we can rewrite the cube root of a fraction as the fraction of the cube roots:
3278x8y9=32738x8y9 We know that 38=2 and 327=3. So we can write: 32738x8y9=323x8y9 Now we simplify the cube root of x8y9. We know that x8=x6⋅x2 and y9=(y3)3. Thus we have: 3x8y9=3x6⋅x2⋅y9=3(x2)3⋅x2⋅(y3)3=x2y33x2 Plugging this back into our expression:
323x8y9=32x2y33x2
