To find the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to calculate the number of flaps per second and then multiply that by the number of seconds.
The hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times in a minute. Therefore, it flaps 5000/60 = 83.33... times per second.
Multiplying this by 15 (the number of seconds) gives us: 83.33... * 15 = <<83.333*15=1249.995>>1249.995.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a wing flap, we can round this number to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1250 times in 15 seconds.
