A hummingbird flaps it's wings 5000 times a minute when hovering in place. How many times will it flip its wing in 15 seconds?

Answer 1

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

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

Next, we can calculate the number of times the hummingbird flaps its wings in 0.25 minutes by multiplying it with the number of wing flaps per minute: 0.25 * 5000 = <<0.25*5000=1250>>1250.

Therefore, the hummingbird will flip its wings 1250 times in 15 seconds.
