7.1x10^-2 as an ordinary number

Hey there,

So let's start off with one part of this equation . . . 


[tex] 10^{-2} [/tex] would be 0.01.

So, we have 0.01 has our answer (so far).
 
Then we would do 7.1 × 0.01, this would give us  . . .

0.071.

Your correct and final answer would be [tex]\boxed{0.071}[/tex]

Hope this helps you!
