To find out how many feathers you need to reach a weight of \( 4.1 \times 10^3 \) grams, you can divide the total weight by the weight of one feather.
1. **Total weight needed**: \( 4.1 \times 10^3 \text{ g} = 4100 \text{ g} \)
2. **Weight of one feather**: \( 0.0082 \text{ g} \)
Now, divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
\[
\text{Number of feathers} = \frac{4100 \text{ g}}{0.0082 \text{ g/feather}}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Number of feathers} = \frac{4100}{0.0082} \approx 500000
\]
Therefore, you would need approximately **500,000 feathers** to make a weight of \( 4.1 \times 10^3 \) grams.
