Answer

$2\sqrt[3]{6}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any real numbers $a$ and $b$, $\sqrt[3]{a} \cdot \sqrt[3]{b} = \sqrt[3]{ab}.$ Use the rule above to obtain $\sqrt[3]{12(3)} \\=\sqrt[3]{48}.$ Factor the radicand so that one factor is a perfect cube to obtain $\sqrt[3]{8(6)} \\=\sqrt[3]{2^3(6)}.$ Simplify to obtain $2\sqrt[3]{6}.$
