Answer

$\dfrac{3y^3\sqrt[]{10}}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, then, \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{\sqrt[]{270y^2}}{5\sqrt[]{3y^{-4}}} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{5}\sqrt[]{\dfrac{270y^2}{3y^{-4}}} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{5}\sqrt[]{90y^{2-(-4)}} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{5}\sqrt[]{90y^{6}} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{5}\sqrt[]{9y^{6}\cdot10} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{5}\cdot3y^3\sqrt[]{10} \\\\= \dfrac{3y^3\sqrt[]{10}}{5} .\end{array}
