Simplifying a cube root involves finding perfect cubes. Since there is a denominator we will also want to rationalize the denominator. I'm going to make the denominator a perfect cube at the start. This will take care of the rationalizing denomiinator before we start. Since any exponent that is divisible by 3 is a perfect cube, all I need to do is change to :

which simplifies to:

Now we can start finding perfect cubes:

Using the properties of radicals we can separate out all the perfect cubes:

Replacing the cube roots of the perfect cubes we get:

Rearranging the factors in the numerator and combining the remaining radicals we get:
