#0.0041#

Explanation:

Since #4.1xx10^-3" is already in standard form"#

I am assuming that you require the number that is represented
by #4.1xx10^-3#

Consider the general form of #10^n#

#•" If n is positive move the decimal point to the right by n"#

#•"If n is negative move the decimal point to the left by n"#

#"here "n=-3larrcolor(red)"move 3 places left"#

It would probably help by placing some 0's before the 4

#rArr4.1xx10^-3=0.0041#
