Answer 1

To find out how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert minutes to seconds.

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

So, the hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times in 1 minute.

Therefore, the hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000/60 = <<5000/60=83.33>>83.33 times in 1 second.

Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 83.33 * 15 = 1249.95 times in 15 seconds.
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1250 times in 15 seconds. Answer: \boxed{1250}.
