$(\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{10^{7}}{10^{8}})$

Divide $1$ by $2$ .

$0.5 \frac{10^{7}}{10^{8}}$

Subtract the exponent from the denominator from the exponent of the numerator for the same base

$0.5 \cdot 10^{7 + 8 \cdot - 1}$

Multiply $8$ by $- 1$ .

$0.5 \cdot 10^{7 - 8}$

Subtract $8$ from $7$ .

$0.5 \cdot 10^{- 1}$

Write $0.5 \cdot 10^{- 1}$ in proper scientific notation.

$5 \cdot 10^{- 2}$

Convert $5 \cdot 10^{- 2}$ from scientific notation.

$0.05$
