6 more gallons, I don’t know how it’ll be as an inequality though, maybe. 40x/4= 24x/4=6 ?

Rationalize the numerator. <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B144x%20%7D%20%7D%7B%20%5Csq

Simora [160]

rationalizing the numerator, or namely, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the top".

we simply multiply top and bottom by a value that will take out the radicand in the numerator.

$\bf \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{144x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}~~
\begin{cases}
144=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 2^3\cdot 18
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{2^3\cdot 18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{ 18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{ 18x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{(18x)^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(18x)^2}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{(18x)(18x)^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(y)(18x)^2}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt[3]{(18x)^3}}{\sqrt[3]{18^2x^2y}}$

$\bf \cfrac{2(18x)}{\sqrt[3]{324x^2y}}~~
\begin{cases}
324=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 12\cdot 3^3
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{36x}{\sqrt[3]{12\cdot 3^3x^2y}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{36x}{3\sqrt[3]{12x^2y}}\implies \cfrac{12x}{\sqrt[3]{12x^2y}}$
