Answer

$\sqrt[6]{125r^3s^2}$

Work Step by Step

Using $a^{m/n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}$ and the laws of exponents, then, \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[]{5r}\cdot\sqrt[3]{s} \\\\= (5r)^{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot s^{\frac{1}{3}} \\\\= (5r)^{\frac{3}{6}}\cdot s^{\frac{2}{6}} \\\\= ((5r)^3\cdot s^2)^{\frac{1}{6}} \\\\= (125r^3\cdot s^2)^{\frac{1}{6}} \\\\= (125r^3s^2)^{\frac{1}{6}} \\\\= \sqrt[6]{125r^3s^2} .\end{array}
