Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation.
0.7(3.6 * 10^-2)
[tex]0.7(3.6 * 10^-^2)= 0.7(3.6 * \frac{1}{10^2})=0.7(3.6 * \frac{1}{100})=0.7(0.036)= \\ \\ \\ 0.7(0.036)= \frac{7}{10}* \frac{36}{1000}= \frac{7*36}{10*1000}= \frac{252}{10000}=0.0252 = \boxed{2.52*10^{-2}} [/tex]
