To find out how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we first need to convert 15 seconds into minutes.
We know that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds. Therefore, 15 seconds is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.
Next, we need to multiply the hummingbird's wing flaps per minute by the number of minutes it will be flapping its wings.
Wing flaps in 0.25 minutes = 5,000 flaps/minute * 0.25 minutes = 1,250 flaps
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
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.
