Answer

$\sqrt[30]{y^{27}}$

Work Step by Step

Using $a^{m/n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}$ and the laws of exponents, then, \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[6]{y}\cdot\sqrt[3]{y}\cdot\sqrt[5]{y^2} \\\\= y^{1/6}\cdot y^{1/3}\cdot y^{2/5} \\\\= y^{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{5}} \\\\= y^{\frac{5}{30}+\frac{10}{30}+\frac{12}{30}} \\\\= y^{\frac{27}{30}} \\\\= \sqrt[30]{y^{27}} .\end{array}
