Exponents Worksheet featuring 10 problems for practicing exponent rules with fractions, decimals, and powers.

Let's solve each problem on the Exponents Worksheet step by step.

1a. $\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 \div \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6$

Step 1: Compute each part separately.

- $\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{2^2}{3^2} = \frac{4}{9}$
- $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6 = \frac{1^6}{2^6} = \frac{1}{64}$

Step 2: Divide:
$$
\frac{4}{9} \div \frac{1}{64} = \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{64}{1} = \frac{256}{9}
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{256}{9}}$

1b. $\left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^1$

Use the rule: $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

$$
\left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^1 = \left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^{2+1} = \left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^3 = \frac{125}{343}
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{125}{343}}$

2a. $0.6^1 \times 0.2^3$

- $0.6^1 = 0.6$
- $0.2^3 = 0.2 \times 0.2 \times 0.2 = 0.008$

Now multiply:
$$
0.6 \times 0.008 = 0.0048
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{0.0048}$

---

2b. $\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^3 \times \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^2$

Again, use exponent rule: $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

$$
\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{3+2} = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^5 = \frac{2^5}{5^5} = \frac{32}{3125}
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{32}{3125}}$

---

3a. $1^{99} - 0.6^2$

- $1^{99} = 1$ (any power of 1 is 1)
- $0.6^2 = 0.36$

So:
$$
1 - 0.36 = 0.64
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{0.64}$

---

3b. $0.2^1 \times \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^2$

- $0.2^1 = 0.2$
- $\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{64}$

Now:
$$
0.2 \times \frac{1}{64} = \frac{2}{10} \times \frac{1}{64} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{64} = \frac{1}{320}
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{1}{320}}$

---

4a. $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \div \left(\frac{5}{8}\right)^1$

- $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}$
- $\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)^1 = \frac{5}{8}$

Now divide:
$$
\frac{1}{4} \div \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{5} = \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}$

---

4b. $7^2 - 0.5^3$

- $7^2 = 49$
- $0.5^3 = 0.125$

Now:
$$
49 - 0.125 = 48.875
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{48.875}$

---

5a. $3^1 \div 0.8^2$

- $3^1 = 3$
- $0.8^2 = 0.64$

Now divide:
$$
3 \div 0.64 = \frac{3}{0.64}
$$

To simplify, multiply numerator and denominator by 100:
$$
\frac{300}{64} = \frac{75}{16} = 4.6875
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{75}{16}}$ or $\boxed{4.6875}$

---

5b. $0.7^2 + 0.9^1$

- $0.7^2 = 0.49$
- $0.9^1 = 0.9$

Add:
$$
0.49 + 0.9 = 1.39
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{1.39}$

---
