Answer 1

To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g, we can set up a proportion:

0.0082 g / 1 feather = 4.1 x 10^3 g / N feathers

Cross multiplying, we get:

N feathers = (4.1 x 10^3 g) / (0.0082 g)

N feathers = 5 x 10^5

Therefore, you would need 5 x 10^5 feathers to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g.
