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 the time from seconds to minutes.

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

The hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute when hovering in place.

Therefore, in 0.25 minutes, the hummingbird will flap its wings 5,000 * 0.25 = <<5000*0.25=1250>>1250 times.

So, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1250 times in 15 seconds. Answer: \boxed{1250}.
