Answer

$\dfrac{11y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{8}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, then, \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{y^5}}{8}+\dfrac{5y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{4} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{y^3\cdot y^2}}{8}+\dfrac{5y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{4} \\\\= \dfrac{y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{8}+\dfrac{5y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{4} \\\\= \dfrac{y\sqrt[3]{y^2}+2(5y\sqrt[3]{y^2})}{8} \\\\= \dfrac{y\sqrt[3]{y^2}+10y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{8} \\\\= \dfrac{11y\sqrt[3]{y^2}}{8} .\end{array}
