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.
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.
To find the number of feathers needed, divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of one feather
Number of feathers = 4.1×10^3 g / 0.0082 g
Number of feathers = (4.1×10^3) / (0.0082) = 500
Therefore, you would need 5.0×10^2 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake.
To find the number of feathers needed, divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of one feather
Number of feathers = (4.1×10^3 g) / (0.0082 g) = 5.0×10^5
Therefore, you would need 5.0×10^5 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.
To find out how many feathers are needed to reach a weight of 4.1×10^3 g, we need to divide the desired weight by the weight of a single feather.
First, let's convert the weight of a feather to scientific notation:
0.0082 g = 8.2×10^-3 g
Now, we can calculate the number of feathers needed:
Number of feathers = Desired weight / Weight of a single feather
Number of feathers = 4.1×10^3 g / 8.2×10^-3 g
To divide in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the coefficients:
Number of feathers = (4.1 / 8.2) × (10^3 / 10^-3)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Number of feathers = 0.5 × 10^6
Finally, we can write the answer in scientific notation:
Number of feathers = 5×10^5
To find the number of feathers needed, divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of one feather
Number of feathers = 4.1×103 g / 0.0082 g
Number of feathers = 5.0×105 feathers
Therefore, you would need 5.0×105 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×103 g.
To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g, we can divide the weight by the weight of a single feather.
Number of feathers = Weight of the object / Weight of a single feather
Number of feathers = (4.1×10^3 g) / (0.0082 g)
Number of feathers = 500
Therefore, you would need 5.0 x 10^2 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.
