We are given the number in scientific notation:


4.58*10^(-2)

To convert it to decimal format, we need to move the decimal point two spaces to the left.

Since we don't have enough digits before the decimal point, we add two zeros before the 4:


004.58*10^(-2)

Now we move the point as required:


004.58*10^(-2)=0.0458

The required number is 0.0458
