To find the number of feathers needed, we need to divide the desired weight (4.1 * 10^3 G) by the weight of a single feather (0.0082 G).
Number of feathers needed = (4.1 * 10^3 G) / (0.0082 G)
To simplify the calculation, we can divide both numerator and denominator by 0.0082 G:
Number of feathers needed = (4.1 * 10^3 G) / (0.0082 G)
= 5 * 10^2
Therefore, you would need 5 * 10^2 (or 500) feathers to achieve a weight of 4.1 * 10^3 G.
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
