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 time from seconds to minutes.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 15 seconds is (15/60) = 0.25 minutes.
The hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute when hovering in place.
Therefore, in 0.25 minutes, the hummingbird will flap its wings 5,000 * 0.25 = <<5000*0.25=1250>>1250 times.
So, the hummingbird will flap its wings 1250 times in 15 seconds. Answer: \boxed{1250}.
