    Note that 1.5 = 3/2. Then.

    x^(3/2) = 1/6

    Set both sides to the power of 2/3 to get:

    x = (1/6)^(2/3)

    I hope this helps!

    I am puzzled here. I have a bit of a crisis trying to understand why, if the question is easy, do you bother posting it here.

    I think answering it diminishes the answerer's work.

    So I will not solve it.

    x^1.5 = 1/6

    x^(3/2) = 1/6

    (x^(3/2))^(2/3) = (1/6)^(2/3)

    x^(3/2 * 2/3) = (1/6)^(2/3)

    x = (1/6)^(2/3)
