Question

A feather weighs 0.0082 g. How many feathers would you need to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point) its not 4.1 × 10^3 g.

Answer 1

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

Number of feathers = weight desired / weight of one feather

Number of feathers = (4.1×10^3 g) / (0.0082 g)

Number of feathers = 5.0×10^5

Therefore, you would need 5.0×10^5 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.
