already in standard form

Explanation:

To express a number in standard form we write it as follows:

a×10n where 1a<10 and n is an integer

8.5×107 is in this form

In case you are asking for the original number.

Then the -7 from the index of the 10 , lets us know to move the decimal point 7 places to the left from where it has been placed between the 8 and 5.

8.5×107=0.00000085
