Answer

$0.4326$

Work Step by Step

To convert a number in scientific notation to a number in standard notation, we must move the decimal point to the left or right by the exponent of $10$ in the scientific notation. If the exponent is positive, we move the decimal right. If the exponent is negative, we move the decimal left. We are trying to convert $4.326\times10^{-1}$ to standard notation. Since the exponent of $10$ is $-1$, we move the decimal point $1$ place to the left, giving us $0.4326$.
