Apply the property of power of a product in reverse: $a^n\cdot b^n=(a\cdot b)^n$
Rewrite $16$ as a power
Split $2^{4}$ as a product of powers of $2$
The power of a product is equal to the product of it's factors raised to the same power
Simplify $\sqrt{2^{3}}$ using the power of a power property: $\left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m\cdot n}$. In the expression, $m$ equals $3$ and $n$ equals $\frac{1}{2}$
