A feather weighs 0.0082 g. How many feathers would you need to make a weight of 4.1×103 g? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g, we divide the weight of one feather by the desired weight:

(4.1×10^3 g) / (0.0082 g) = 500

Therefore, you would need 500 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.

Answer 2

500 in scientific notation
