Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{2}}{6}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, then, \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{16}{27}}-\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{54}}{6} \\\\= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{8}{27}\cdot2}-\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{27\cdot2}}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{2}}{3}-\dfrac{3\sqrt[3]{2}}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{2(2\sqrt[3]{2})-3\sqrt[3]{2}}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{4\sqrt[3]{2}-3\sqrt[3]{2}}{6} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{2}}{6} .\end{array}
