Answer:

You can convert the power of 10 to a decimal and multiply it by 0.502, or you can move the decimal place of 0.502 to the left depending on the value of the exponent:

0.502 x 10^2=0.00502 → 10^2 is equal to 100. So, 0.502 x 100=0.00502 OR 10 is raised to a power of 2, so move the decimal place 2 times to get 0.00502.

0.502 x 10^3=0.000502 → 10^3 is equal to 1000. So, 0.502 x 1000=0.000502 OR 10 is raised to a power of 3, so move the decimal place 3 times to get 0.000502.

Hope you understand and that this helps with your question! :)
