Answer

$\dfrac{2}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the given expression, $ \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{16}}{\sqrt[3]{54}} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{8\cdot2}}{\sqrt[3]{27\cdot2}} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{(2)^3\cdot2}}{\sqrt[3]{(3)^3\cdot2}} \\\\= \dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{2}}{3\sqrt[3]{2}} \\\\= \dfrac{2\cancel{\sqrt[3]{2}}}{3\cancel{\sqrt[3]{2}}} \\\\= \dfrac{2}{3} .\end{array}
