We have ${T_{r + 1}} = {\,^{18}}{C_r}{(\sqrt[3]{x})^{18 - r}}{\left( {\frac{1}{{2\sqrt[3]{x}}}} \right)^r}$

$ = {\,^{18}}{C_r}{x^{\frac{{18 - r}}{3}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{2^r} \cdot {x^{\frac{r}{3}}}}} = {\,^{18}}{C_r}\frac{1}{{{2^r}}} \cdot {x^{\frac{{18 - 2r}}{3}}}$

Since we have to find a term independent of $x$, i.e., term not having $x$, so take $\frac{18-2 r}{3}=0$

We get $r=9 .$ The required term is ${\,^{18}}{C_9}\frac{1}{{{2^9}}}$
