The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.

The answer to your question is derived from the Laws of Exponents. According to these laws when you encounter exponents in division problems you perform a subtraction. (Ex. a2/a3) After subtracting the exponents (2-3= -1) you are left with an exponent of -1 (a-1) This is just another way to write 1/a1 , or more commonly, just 1/a.
When dividing numbers with exponents, subtract the bottom exponent from the top exponent.
You do not. The exponent is only subtracted in division.
"Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction." Therefore multiplication and division are equal.

Working the exponents or roots is first in the order of operations.You do those even before multiplication or division.
