Answer

$9\sqrt[3]{2}$

Work Step by Step

Simplifying each term and then combining like terms, the given expression, $ 3\sqrt[3]{16}+\sqrt[3]{54} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 3\sqrt[3]{8\cdot2}+\sqrt[3]{27\cdot2} \\\\= 3\sqrt[3]{(2)^3\cdot2}+\sqrt[3]{(3)^3\cdot2} \\\\= 3\cdot2\sqrt[3]{2}+3\sqrt[3]{2} \\\\= 6\sqrt[3]{2}+3\sqrt[3]{2} \\\\= 9\sqrt[3]{2} .\end{array}
