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?(1 point)

Question

The hummingbird will flap its wings ___
times.

Answer 1

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

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

So, 15 seconds is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.

Now, we can find the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds by multiplying the number of flaps per minute (5,000) by the number of minutes (0.25).

Number of flaps in 15 seconds = 5,000 x 0.25 = 1,250.

Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
