a feather weighs 0.0082 g. how many feathers would you need to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g? write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g, we divide the total weight by the weight of one feather.

Number of feathers needed = (Total weight) / (Weight of one feather)

Number of feathers needed = (4.1 x 10^3 g) / (0.0082 g)

Number of feathers needed = 5 x 10^5

Therefore, you would need 5 x 10^5 feathers to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g.
