A feather weighs 0.0082 g. How many feathers would you need to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g? Write the answer in scientific notation.

WHAT IS THE ANSWER PLEASEEEE

17 answers

To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g, we can divide the desired weight by the weight of a single feather:

Number of feathers = Weight / Weight of a feather

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

Number of feathers = 5×10^5
A rectangular park has an area of 1.36×10^8 ft2 . The length of the park is 1.6×10^4 ft. Divide the area by the length to find the width of the park.

A. 8.5 * 10^2 ft.
B. 8.5 * 10^3 ft.
C. 8.5 * 10^4 ft.
D. 8.5 * 10^5 ft.
To find the width of the park, we divide the area by the length:

Width = Area / Length

Width = (1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft)

To divide numbers in scientific notation, divide the coefficients (1.36 ÷ 1.6) and subtract the exponents (10^8 - 10^4).

1.36 ÷ 1.6 = 0.85

10^8 - 10^4 = 10^4

Therefore, the width of the park is 0.85 * 10^4 ft.

In proper scientific notation, 0.85 * 10^4 can be written as 8.5 * 10^3.

Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 * 10^3 ft.

The correct answer is B. 8.5 * 10^3 ft.
A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925×10^6 dollars. Divide that figure by the cost of $2.75 per lunch to find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide. Write the answer in scientific notation.
A. 7*10^6
B. 0.7 * 10^6
C. 7 * 10^5
D. 0.7 * 10^5
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch:

Number of senior lunches = Total grant amount / Cost per lunch

Number of senior lunches = (1.925×10^6 dollars) / ($2.75 per lunch)

To divide numbers in scientific notation, divide the coefficients (1.925 ÷ 2.75) and subtract the exponents (10^6 - 0).

1.925 ÷ 2.75 ≈ 0.7

10^6 - 0 = 10^6

Therefore, the number of senior lunches that the grant can provide is approximately 0.7 * 10^6.

In proper scientific notation, 0.7 * 10^6 can be written as 7 * 10^5.

Therefore, the grant can provide 7 * 10^5 senior lunches.

The correct answer is C. 7 * 10^5.
Solomon needs to distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume among 3.5×10^2 containers. How many gallons of perfume will be in each container? Write the answer in scientific notation.
A. 3 * 10^-2
B. 3 * 10^2
C. 0.35 * 10^-1
D. 3 * 10^-1
To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers:

Amount of perfume per container = Total amount of perfume / Number of containers

Amount of perfume per container = 10.5 gallons / (3.5×10^2 containers)

To divide numbers in scientific notation, divide the coefficients (10.5 ÷ 3.5) and subtract the exponents (10^0 - 10^2).

10.5 ÷ 3.5 = 3

10^0 - 10^2 = 10^0 - 10^2 = 1 - 100 = -99

Therefore, the amount of perfume per container is 3 * 10^-99 gallons.

However, we typically write the answer in proper scientific notation, which means the coefficient should be between 1 and 10.

3 * 10^-99 can be rewritten as 3 * 10^-2 * 10^-97 ≈ 3 * 10^-2.

Therefore, there will be approximately 3 * 10^-2 gallons of perfume in each container.

The correct answer is A. 3 * 10^-2.
A large pavilion is made of 2.967×10^5 bricks. There are 6.9 bricks per square foot. How many square feet is the pavilion? Write the answer in scientific notation.
To find out how many square feet the pavilion is, we divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot:

Square footage of pavilion = Total number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot

Square footage of pavilion = (2.967×10^5 bricks) / (6.9 bricks per square foot)

To divide numbers in scientific notation, divide the coefficients (2.967 ÷ 6.9) and subtract the exponents (10^5 - 0).

2.967 ÷ 6.9 ≈ 0.43

10^5 - 0 = 10^5

Therefore, the square footage of the pavilion is approximately 0.43 * 10^5 square feet.

In proper scientific notation, 0.43 * 10^5 can be written as 4.3 * 10^4.

Therefore, the pavilion is approximately 4.3 * 10^4 square feet.

The correct answer is 4.3 * 10^4.
Divide 3.3 * 10^4 by 5.5 * 10^7
A. 6 * 10^-6
B. 6 * 10^-4
C. 6 * 10^-3
D. 6 * 10^-5
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

(3.3 * 10^4) / (5.5 * 10^7)

Dividing the coefficients, we get: 3.3 / 5.5 = 0.6

Then, subtracting the exponents, we get: 10^4 - 10^7 = 10^4 - 10^4 * 10^3 = 10^4 (1 - 10^3) = 10^4 * (1 - 1000) = 10^4 * -999 = -999 * 10^4

Therefore, the result is approximately -999 * 10^4.

In proper scientific notation, we can write -999 * 10^4 as -9.99 * 10^6.

The correct answer is D. -9.99 * 10^6.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try the division again:

To divide 3.3 * 10^4 by 5.5 * 10^7, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

(3.3 * 10^4) / (5.5 * 10^7)

Dividing the coefficients, we get: 3.3 / 5.5 = 0.6

Subtracting the exponents, we get: 10^4 - 10^7 = 10^4 - 10^7 = 10^(-7 - 4) = 10^-11

Therefore, the result is approximately 0.6 * 10^-11.

The correct answer is not among the provided options.
6 * 10^-11 is not the answer
I apologize for the mistake. Let's try the division again:

To divide 3.3 * 10^4 by 5.5 * 10^7, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

(3.3 / 5.5) * (10^4 / 10^7)

Simplifying the coefficients, we get: 3.3 / 5.5 = 0.6

Subtracting the exponents, we get: 10^4 - 10^7 = 10^(4-7) = 10^-3

Therefore, the result is approximately 0.6 * 10^-3.

In proper scientific notation, we can write 0.6 * 10^-3 as 6 * 10^-4.

The correct answer is B. 6 * 10^-4. I apologize for the confusion in the previous responses.
