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

Answer 1

To calculate the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g:

(4.1 x 10^3 g) / (0.0082 g) = 500

Therefore, you would need 5 x 10^2 feathers to make a weight of 4.1 x 10^3 g.
