To rewrite the expression (16xy)^(5/6) with positive exponents, remember that an expression with a negative exponent can be rewritten as its reciprocal with a positive exponent.
So, starting from (16xy)^(5/6), you can rewrite it as 1/(16xy)^(-5/6).
Now, to further simplify, the expression (16xy)^(-5/6) can be rewritten as the reciprocal of the expression (16xy)^(5/6).
Therefore, the final expression with positive exponents is 1/(16xy)^(5/6).
