Answer 1

To find the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the 15-second timeframe to minutes.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 15 seconds is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.

Since the hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times in a minute, the number of times it will flap its wings in 0.25 minutes is 5,000 * 0.25 = 1250 times.

Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1250 times in 15 seconds.
