Answer

$\dfrac{y}{z^{1/6}}$

Work Step by Step

Using laws of exponents, then, \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{(y^3z)^{1/6}}{y^{-1/2}z^{1/3}} \\\\= \dfrac{y^{3\cdot\frac{1}{6}}z^{\frac{1}{6}}}{y^{\frac{-1}{2}}z^{\frac{1}{3}}} \\\\= \dfrac{y^{\frac{3}{6}}z^{\frac{1}{6}}}{y^{\frac{-1}{2}}z^{\frac{1}{3}}} \\\\= y^{\frac{3}{6}-\frac{-1}{2}}z^{\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{3}} \\\\= y^{\frac{3}{6}+\frac{3}{6}}z^{\frac{1}{6}-\frac{2}{6}} \\\\= y^{\frac{6}{6}}z^{-\frac{1}{6}} \\\\= \dfrac{y}{z^{1/6}} .\end{array}
