To find the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to first determine how many times it flaps its wings in 1 second.
Given that it flaps its wings 5,000 times per minute, we can divide this number by 60 to find the number of times it flaps its wings in 1 second.
5000/60 = 83.33 (approximately)
Therefore, the hummingbird flaps its wings approximately 83.33 times in 1 second.
Finally, to find the number of times it flaps its wings in 15 seconds, we can multiply the number of times it flaps its wings in 1 second by 15.
83.33 * 15 = 1249.95 (approximately)
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1250 times in 15 seconds.
