0.004

1) Since we have the following product:


4*10^(-3)

To write it out into the Standard notation, let's multiply 4 by 10 to the negative third power like this:

2)


4*10^(-3)=4*(1)/(1000)=(4)/(1000)=0.004

Note that 0.004 is the Standard Notation while 4 x 10^-3 is the Scientific Notation. And to divide 4 by 1000 we need to move that dot to the left (3 decimal places) for we have a negative exponent.

3) Hence, the answer is 0.004
