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.
To find out how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we first need to convert 15 seconds into minutes.
We know that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds. Therefore, 15 seconds is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.
Next, we need to multiply the hummingbird's wing flaps per minute by the number of minutes it will be flapping its wings.
Wing flaps in 0.25 minutes = 5,000 flaps/minute * 0.25 minutes = 1,250 flaps
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
