Can someone help me work out this maths question on surds?

The indices question is:

16x with the small number on top being 2/3 divided by 2x.

Thanks.

Thanks.

This is an indicies question, first minus the powers then divide 16 by 2

Thanks.

Do you mean this:

\dfrac{16x^{2/3}}{2x}

I'm guessing the question is simplify the following...

Remember that:

\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}

That probably explains why I was struggling putting it in surd form. Thanks!

Oh. I think that 2/3 part confused me and made me think it was a surd. I understand now. Thanks!
