A technician is reviewing a manual that describes how to simplify ratios in a manufacturing formula. The manual states that according to the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property, the expression (a/b)^-n is equivalent to which of the following?

A logistics coordinator is simplifying a shipping efficiency ratio (Weight/Volume) raised to the power of -2. According to the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property, the coordinator can rewrite this expression with a positive exponent of 2 by replacing the original ratio with its ____.

A quality control inspector is using a formula to calculate the ratio of defects to total units raised to a negative power, resulting in the expression (Defects/Total)^-3. According to the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property, this expression is equivalent to (Total/Defects)^3.
