Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{2.852\times10^{-1}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\text{The scientific notation:}\\\\a\times10^k,\ 1\leq a<10,\ k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\(7.13\times10^{-3})\times40=(7.13\times40)\times10^{-3}=285.2\times10^{-3}\\\\\text{Move the decimal point two places to the left,}\\\text{ increasing the exponent of the power of 10 also by 2}\\\\=2.852\times10^{-3+2}=2.852\times10^{-1}[/tex]
