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 poin
To find the number of feathers needed, we need to divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of one feather
Plugging in the given values:
Number of feathers = 4.1 × 10^3 g / 0.0082 g
Dividing 4.1 by 0.0082 gives us:
Number of feathers = 500
Therefore, you would need 500 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.

Apologies for the mistake.
To find the number of feathers needed, we need to divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of one feather
Plugging in the given values:
Number of feathers = 4.1 × 10^3 g / 0.0082 g
4.1 × 10^3 g / 0.0082 g = 500 × 10^3 / 8.2 × 10^4
= 500 / 8.2 × 10^3 / 10^4
= 60.97560975609756 × 10^-1
= 6.1 × 10^2
Therefore, you would need 6.1 × 10^2 feathers to make a weight of 4.1 × 10^3 g.
