About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use product, quotient, and power properties to rewrite numerical expressions.
  • Students evaluate numerical expressions with zero and negative integer exponents.
  • Students apply exponent properties to restaurant orders and portion adjustments.

How to use

Use for independent practice after teaching integer exponent properties. Ask students to show their rewrites on scratch paper before checking the order decisions.

Curriculum

Recipe Scaling with Powers

Use integer exponents to check a family restaurant’s order calculations.

Kitchen Calculation Notes

Check the numerical expressions in the restaurant’s order notebook. Use exponent properties rather than expanding every power.

1.
Match each expression in the order notebook to an equivalent single power.
  1. 5³ × 5⁻¹
  2. 5² ÷ 5⁶
  3. (5⁻²)³
  1. A. 5²
  2. B. 5⁻⁴
  3. C. 5⁻⁶
2.
Which expression correctly rewrites the kitchen’s scaling factor (12/4)⁻² using a positive exponent?
  • A. (4/12)¹
  • B. −(12/4)²
  • C. (12/4)²
  • D. (4/12)²
3.
A scaling factor of 1 leaves an order unchanged. Select every expression that equals 1.

11⁰6⁻² × 6²8¹ ÷ 8⁰(3/5)⁰4⁻¹
