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)
The hummingbird will flap its wings | times.
To find how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the given rate of 5,000 times per minute to times per second.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so the hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 / 60 = 83.33 times per second.
Therefore, in 15 seconds, the hummingbird will flap its wings 83.33 * 15 = 1,249.95 times.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1,250 times.
To find out how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the given value of 5,000 flaps per minute into flaps per second.
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can divide the flaps per minute by 60 to get the flaps per second:
5,000 flaps per minute / 60 = 83.33 flaps per second (rounded to two decimal places)
Now that we know the hummingbird flaps its wings at a rate of approximately 83.33 times per second, we can multiply this value by 15 (the number of seconds) to find the total number of flaps:
83.33 flaps per second * 15 seconds = 1,249.95 flaps
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
To calculate the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the 15 seconds to minutes.
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, dividing 15 seconds by 60 will give us the number of minutes:
15 seconds ÷ 60 = 0.25 minutes.
Next, we can calculate the number of wing flaps by multiplying the 0.25 minutes by the rate of wing flaps per minute:
0.25 minutes × 5,000 wing flaps/minute = 1,250 wing flaps.
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
