Greater than, I believe. 5x10 = 50. -4 is the opposite of +4 and 1.0 is just like the positive number one.

Answer: The number will be less than 1.0

Explanation:
5 x 10^(-4) number can be written as 0.0005 as the power of the 10 is in negative digits which comes into the point digits after evaluating carefully.

Thus it is clear that 1.0 is bigger than 0.0005.

Thus the number 5x10 to the power of -4 is less than 1.0
