hint: \[\Large \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = \frac{2^{1/2}}{2^{1/3}}\]
OpenStudy (kaptain_mittens):
ok so make those common denominators, right?

you subtract the exponents for the next step

Rule:
\[\LARGE \frac{x^y}{x^z} = x^{y-z}\]

2^1/6
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes,
\[\Large \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = \frac{2^{1/2}}{2^{1/3}}\]
\[\Large \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = 2^{1/2 - 1/3}\]
\[\Large \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = 2^{3/6 - 2/6}\]
\[\Large \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = 2^{1/6}\]
\[\Large \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = \sqrt[6]{2}\]
