Answer

$0.07$

Work Step by Step

To convert a number in scientific notation, $a \times 10^{n}$, to standard decimal form: (i) If $n$ is positive, move the decimal point $n$ places to the right; or (ii) If $n$ is negative, move the decimal point $|n|$ places to the left. The given scientific notation has $n=-2$. Thus, move the decimal point 2 places to the left to obtain: $(7)(10^{-2})=0.07$
