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.(1 point)
To find the number of feathers needed, we can set up a proportion:
0.0082 g / 1 feather = 4.1 × 10^3 g / x feathers
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
0.0082 g * x feathers = 4.1 × 10^3 g * 1 feather
x * 0.0082 g = 4.1 × 10^3 g
x = (4.1 × 10^3 g) / (0.0082 g)
x = 5 × 10^5 feathers
So, you would need 5 × 10^5 feathers to make a weight of 4.1 × 10^3 g.
To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g, we need to divide the total weight by the weight of each feather.
Let's set up the calculation:
Number of feathers = Total weight / Weight of each feather
Number of feathers = 4.1×10^3 g / 0.0082 g
Now, divide the total weight by the weight of each feather:
Number of feathers = 4.1×10^3 g ÷ 0.0082 g
Number of feathers = 5×10^2
Therefore, you would need 5×10^2 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.
To find the number of feathers needed to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g, we can divide the total weight by the weight of one feather.
First, let's convert the weight of one feather to grams. The weight of one feather is given as 0.0082 g.
Next, divide the total weight by the weight of one feather:
4.1×10^3 g ÷ 0.0082 g = 500
So, you would need 500 feathers to make a weight of 4.1×10^3 g.
Expressing the answer in scientific notation:
500 can be written as 5×10^2.
Therefore, the answer is 5×10^2 feathers.
