1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{3\sqrt[4]{4}}$$.
2. **Recall the properties of roots:** The 4th root of a number $a$ is $a^{\frac{1}{4}}$.
3. **Rewrite the expression using exponents:**
$$\frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \times 4^{\frac{1}{4}}}$$
4. **Combine the roots in numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \times 4^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \times (2^2)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \times 2^{\frac{2}{4}}} = \frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \times 2^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
5. **Express the denominator's root as a square root:**
$$2^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{2}$$
6. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \sqrt{2}}$$
7. **Rationalize the denominator:** Multiply numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{2}$:
$$\frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}}}{3 \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}} \sqrt{2}}{3 \times 2} = \frac{5^{\frac{1}{4}} \sqrt{2}}{6}$$
8. **Final simplified form:**
$$\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{2} \sqrt[4]{5}}{6}}$$
