Because this is 10 raised to the -5 power, move the decimal 5 places to the left. This would be 0.0000702. You will need 4 place-holder zeros for this.

If you need additonal explanation on scientific notation like this, see my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, look for "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time," click on Basic Algebra, go to Chapter 2, and Section 2.14 Scientific Notation. This is a really simple topic. It's too bad the mathematicians who write the textbooks of today have made it so intimidating!! Maybe my explanations will be easier to understand.
