Well:

((10^-5)^2) = 10^-10

so, now you have 10^-10/.02 , now you can move the 2 decimal places to the right of the denominator and times the numerator by 100 (since you move 2 decimal places in the denominator) to get: 10^-8/2, which is equal to:
1 x 10^-8/2
0.5 x 10^-8 = 5 x 10^-9

*plz correct me if I am wrong!

I think this is right...

(10^-5)^2=10^-10

.02=2x10^-2

10^-10/2x10^-2=5x10^-9

I'm not good at math so someone check me on this.
