Solving the number depends on what you need with the number. As written, it is just a number and not a variable. Your number is written in some exponential form counting a nonwhole quantity of (1/100), hundredths. One may suppose you want the number in standard scientific notation. To obtain that result, multiply the 46.2 by $\"1%2F10\"$ and divide the 10^-2 by $\"1%2F10\"$ . This gives you the same number but more according to standard for scientific notation. \r
