Use ratios and proportions in the solution of problems involving unit rates, scale drawings, and reading of maps. Represent numbers in scientific notation (positive powers of ten only) and use that notation in problem situations. Demonstrate an understanding of absolute value. Apply the rules of positive integer exponents to the solution of problems. Extend the order of operations to include positive integer exponents. Use the inverse relationships of addition and subtraction, and of multiplication and division, to simplify computations and solve problems.
