To find the number of feathers needed, we divide the weight we want by the weight of each feather:
Number of feathers = 4.1×10^3 g / 0.0082 g
Number of feathers = (4.1 / 0.0082) × 10^3
Number of feathers = 500 × 10^3
Number of feathers = 5 × 10^5
Therefore, you would need 5×10^5 feathers to make 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 4.1×103 g? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point)
