A feather weighs 0.0082 g. How many feathers would you need to make a weight of 4.1x10^3 g? Write the answer in scientific notation.

1 answer

To find the number of feathers needed, we can divide the total weight desired (4.1x10^3 g) by the weight of one feather (0.0082 g):

(4.1x10^3 g) / (0.0082 g) = 5.0000x10^5

Therefore, you would need 5.0000x10^5 feathers to make a weight of 4.1x10^3 g.
