A warehouse supervisor is calculating a space utilization ratio expressed as $\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{-2}$. According to the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property, which of the following is an equivalent way to rewrite this expression using a positive exponent?

An environmental safety officer is calculating a concentration ratio expressed as $\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{-2}$. To simplify this using the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property, arrange the following steps in the correct procedural order.

A production supervisor at a manufacturing plant is evaluating an efficiency ratio expressed as $\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{-3}$. According to the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property, the supervisor can correctly rewrite this expression with a positive exponent as $\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^3$.

A facility manager is adjusting the scale of blueprints for a new office layout. Some of the scaling factors are expressed as fractions with negative exponents. Match each original scaling factor with its equivalent form written with a positive exponent, according to the Quotient to a Negative Exponent Property.

A quality control analyst is evaluating a tolerance ratio containing the expression $\left(-\frac{a}{b}\right)^{-4}$. According to the rules for exponents, after taking the reciprocal of the fraction to make the exponent positive, the final expression will be positive because a negative base raised to an ____ power results in a positive value.
