Answer

$\frac{2}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Re-write $\sqrt[3]{16}=16^{\frac{1}{3}}$. $x=\log_4{16}^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Write expression in exponential form. $4^x=16^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Re-write both sides in terms of the same base. $4^x=(4^2)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Set exponents equal. (If $x^a=x^b$, than $a=b$.) $x=2(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{2}{3}$
