Answer:

0.00,002

Explanation:

Since the exponent is negative. The number written in standard form is much smaller than 2. How much smaller? We need to move the decimal 5 places to the left. When we do not see the decimal it is at the end of the number.

We do not see the decimal in 2, so we know it is to the right of the 2. If I move that 5 places to the left, I get. 0.00,002
