Answer

$4$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) $a^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}$ (2) If $\sqrt[n]{a}$ and $\sqrt[n]{b}$ are real numbers, then $\sqrt[n]{a} \cdot \sqrt[n]{b}=\sqrt[n]{ab}$. Use the rules above to obtain: \begin{align*} 16^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot 4^{\frac{1}{3}}&=\sqrt[3]{16} \cdot \sqrt[3]{4}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{16(4)}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{64}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{4(4)(4)}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{4^3}\\ &=4 \end{align*}
