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 answer

To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1x10^3 g, we need to divide the total weight by the weight of a single feather.

Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of a single feather

Number of feathers = (4.1x10^3 g) / (0.0082 g)

Number of feathers = 5x10^3

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