1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{(x^3+3x^2)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{x}$$.
2. **Recall the rules:**
- The cube root of a number $a$ is written as $a^{\frac{1}{3}}$.
- When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents.
- Factor expressions inside roots if possible to simplify.
3. **Factor the expression inside the cube root:**
$$x^3 + 3x^2 = x^2(x + 3)$$
4. **Rewrite the cube root using the factorization:**
$$\left(x^2(x + 3)\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \left(x^2\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \cdot (x + 3)^{\frac{1}{3}} = x^{\frac{2}{3}} (x + 3)^{\frac{1}{3}}$$
5. **Divide by $x$:**
$$\frac{x^{\frac{2}{3}} (x + 3)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{x} = x^{\frac{2}{3} - 1} (x + 3)^{\frac{1}{3}} = x^{-\frac{1}{3}} (x + 3)^{\frac{1}{3}}$$
6. **Rewrite the negative exponent:**
$$x^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}$$
7. **Final simplified expression:**
$$\frac{(x + 3)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}} = \left(\frac{x + 3}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$$
**Answer:** $$\boxed{\left(\frac{x + 3}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$$
