Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{10y}}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying the numerator and the denominator of the given expression, $ \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5y}}{\sqrt[3]{4}} ,$ by $ \sqrt[3]{16} $ results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5y}}{\sqrt[3]{4}}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{16}}{\sqrt[3]{16}} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5y(16)}}{\sqrt[3]{4(16)}} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{80y}}{\sqrt[3]{64}} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{8\cdot10y}}{\sqrt[3]{64}} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{(2)^3\cdot10y}}{\sqrt[3]{(4)^3}} \\\\= \dfrac{2\sqrt[3]{10y}}{4} \\\\= \dfrac{\cancel{2}\sqrt[3]{10y}}{\cancel{2}\cdot2} \\\\= \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{10y}}{2} .\end{array}
