In order to do this, you need to understand that it is a two-step conversion. You have to convert the grams to moles and moles to atoms using Avagadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23. You will use the atomic mass of zinc to cancel out your gram units. You can find this on the periodic table. Your set-up should look like this:
91.42 g Zn x 1 mole Zn/atomic mass of zinc x Avagadro's number/1 mole of Zn
