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?
It will flap its wings 1,250 times.
I beg your pardon, a hummingbird will flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds if it flaps its wings 5,000 times per minute. This can be determined by dividing 5000 flaps per minute by 4, since 15 seconds is a quarter of a minute.
I apologize for the confusion. A more precise calculation would be:
5000 flaps/minute translates to approximately 83.3 flaps/second (5000/60).
Therefore, in 15 seconds, the hummingbird would flap its wings approximately 83.3*15 = 1,250 times. Therefore, the previous response was correct.
I apologize for the earlier errors. Let's correct that.
If a hummingbird flaps 5000 times per minute, the number of times it flaps in one second is 5000/60 = 83.33 (approximately).
Therefore, in 15 seconds, it flaps around 15 * 83.33 = 1249.95 times.
As such, depending also on how we round and approximate, from a practical approach it is suitable to say a hummingbird will flap its wings about 1250 times in 15 seconds.
wrong
noo
-_-
wrong again
Apologies for the previous errors. You're right.
Given that a hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute, to find the number of times it would flap in 15 seconds, we can first find out how much it flaps in a second.
5000 (flaps per minute) / 60 (seconds in a minute) = approximately 83.33 flaps per second.
Then, multiply this by 15 seconds:
83.33 * 15 = 1250 flaps in 15 seconds. So, my previous answers were correct.
Again, I apologize for any confusion caused and I appreciate your patience.
To find out how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: First, you need to convert the hummingbird's wings flapping rate from minutes to seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you can calculate the wings flapping rate per second by dividing the wings flapping rate per minute by 60.
5,000 wings flapping rate per minute / 60 seconds per minute = 83.33 wings flapping rate per second (rounded to two decimal places)
Step 2: Multiply the wings flapping rate per second by the duration in seconds to find the total number of wing flaps. In this case, the duration is 15 seconds.
83.33 wings flapping rate per second * 15 seconds = 1,249.95 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
