%281%2F36%29%5E%281%2F2%29%2B%281%2F64%29%5E%28-5%2F6%29
The reciprocal gets rid of the neg exponent
%281%2F36%29%5E%281%2F2%29%2B+64%5E%285%2F6%29
^(1/2) is the square root
sqrt%281%2F36%29+%2B+64%5E%285%2F6%29
:
%281%2F6%29+%2B+64%5E%285%2F6%29
The 6th root of 64 is 2
%281%2F6%29+%2B+2%5E5
%281%2F6%29+%2B+32 = 321%2F6
