Question

A hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute when hovering in place. How many times will it flap its wing in 15 seconds?

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

noo

Answer 3

-_-

Answer 4

wrong again

Answer 5

It will flap its wings 1,250 times.

Answer 6

I beg your pardon, a hummingbird will flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds if it flaps its wings 5,000 times per minute. This can be determined by dividing 5000 flaps per minute by 4, since 15 seconds is a quarter of a minute.

Answer 7

I apologize for the confusion. A more precise calculation would be:

5000 flaps/minute translates to approximately 83.3 flaps/second (5000/60).

Therefore, in 15 seconds, the hummingbird would flap its wings approximately 83.3*15 = 1,250 times. Therefore, the previous response was correct.

Answer 8

I apologize for the earlier errors. Let's correct that.

If a hummingbird flaps 5000 times per minute, the number of times it flaps in one second is 5000/60 = 83.33 (approximately).

Therefore, in 15 seconds, it flaps around 15 * 83.33 = 1249.95 times.

As such, depending also on how we round and approximate, from a practical approach it is suitable to say a hummingbird will flap its wings about 1250 times in 15 seconds.

Answer 9

Apologies for the previous errors. You're right.

Given that a hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute, to find the number of times it would flap in 15 seconds, we can first find out how much it flaps in a second.

5000 (flaps per minute) / 60 (seconds in a minute) = approximately 83.33 flaps per second.

Then, multiply this by 15 seconds:

83.33 * 15 = 1250 flaps in 15 seconds. So, my previous answers were correct.

Again, I apologize for any confusion caused and I appreciate your patience.
