A feather weighs 0.0082 g how many feathers would you need to make a weight of 4.1 * 10 ^ 3 g right the answer in scientific notation

Answer 1

To find out how many feathers are needed to make a weight of 4.1 * 10^3 g, we can divide the total weight by the weight of a single feather:

(4.1 * 10^3 g) / (0.0082 g/feather)

To divide these numbers, we can subtract the exponents (10^3 - 1) and calculate the resulting number as:

4.1 * 10^(3-1) g/0.0082 g/feather

= 4.1 * (10^2) / 0.0082 feathers

= 410 / 0.0082 feathers

= 50,000 feathers

So, you would need 5 * 10^4 feathers to make a weight of 4.1 * 10^3 g.
