See explanation.

Explanation:

Since only multiplication is occuring, we can rewrite ((2x^4)/(3x^6y^4))^4(2x43x6y4)4 as ((2^4(x^4)^4)/(3^4(x^6)^4(y^4)^4))24(x4)434(x6)4(y4)4, we can now simplify this, remember that (x^a)^b = x^(a*b)(xa)b=xab

Simplifying, we get:
(16x^16)/(81x^24y^16)16x1681x24y16, we can further simplify and get (16)/(81x^8y^16)1681x8y16
