Answer

$27x^{2/3}$

Work Step by Step

Using laws of exponents, then, \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{(3x^{1/4})^{3}}{x^{1/12}} \\\\= \dfrac{3^3x^{\frac{1}{4}\cdot3}}{x^{\frac{1}{12}}} \\\\= \dfrac{27x^{\frac{3}{4}}}{x^{\frac{1}{12}}} \\\\= 27x^{\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{12}} \\\\= 27x^{\frac{9}{12}-\frac{1}{12}} \\\\= 27x^{\frac{8}{12}} \\\\= 27x^{2/3} .\end{array}
