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 the number of times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the given value of 5,000 flaps per minute to flaps per second.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so the hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000/60 = <<5000/60=83.33>>83.33 times per second.
Therefore, in 15 seconds, the hummingbird will flap its wings 83.33 * 15 = 1249.95 times.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1250 times in 15 seconds. Answer: \boxed{1250}.
To find out how many times a hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the hummingbird's flapping rate from minutes to seconds.
The hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times per minute.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so we can calculate the hummingbird's flapping rate per second by dividing 5,000 by 60:
5,000 flaps/minute รท 60 seconds/minute = 83.33 flaps/second
Now, to find out how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we multiply the hummingbird's flapping rate per second by the number of seconds:
83.33 flaps/second * 15 seconds = 1,249.95 flaps
Since we cannot have a fraction of a flap, we can round the result to the nearest whole number:
The hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
To solve this problem, we need to convert minutes to seconds and then calculate the number of wing flaps in 15 seconds.
Step 1: Convert the hummingbird's wing flaps from 5,000 per minute to wing flaps per second:
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can calculate the wing flaps per second by dividing 5,000 by 60:
5,000 / 60 = 83.33 wing flaps per second (rounded to 2 decimal places).
Step 2: Calculate the number of wing flaps in 15 seconds:
To find the number of wing flaps in 15 seconds, we multiply the wing flaps per second by 15:
83.33 * 15 = 1,250 wing flaps (rounded to the nearest whole number).
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
