Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{2y}}{y}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any real number $a$, $\sqrt[3]{a^3}= a$ Rationalize the denominator by multiplying $y$ to both the numerator and the denominator of the radicand. Simplify using the rule above to obtain: $\require{cancel} =\sqrt{\dfrac{2(y)}{y^2(y)}} \\=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y}{y^3}} \\=\frac{1}{y} \cdot \sqrt[3]{2y} \\=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{2y}}{y}$
