A hummingbird flaps it's wings 5000 times a minute when hovering in place. How many times will it flip its wing in 15 seconds?
To find out how many times the hummingbird flaps its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the 15 seconds into minutes.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 15 seconds is equal to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.
Next, we can calculate the number of times the hummingbird flaps its wings in 0.25 minutes by multiplying it with the number of wing flaps per minute: 0.25 * 5000 = <<0.25*5000=1250>>1250.
Therefore, the hummingbird will flip its wings 1250 times in 15 seconds.
To find out how many times a hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the bird's flapping rate from minutes to seconds.
First, let's calculate how many times a hummingbird flaps its wings in one second:
5000 flaps/minute ÷ 60 seconds/minute = 83.33 flaps/second (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, we can determine the number of wing flips in 15 seconds by multiplying the flapping rate per second by the duration of time:
83.33 flaps/second × 15 seconds = 1249.95 flaps (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, a hummingbird will flip its wings approximately 1250 times in 15 seconds.
To find out how many times a hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds, we need to convert the flapping rate from minutes to seconds and then multiply it by the duration of 15 seconds.
First, let's convert the flapping rate from minutes to seconds:
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, the hummingbird flaps its wings 5000 times in 60 seconds.
Flapping rate in seconds = (5000 flaps / 60 seconds) = 83.33 flaps per second (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Now, we can calculate how many times the hummingbird will flap its wings in 15 seconds:
Flaps in 15 seconds = (83.33 flaps/second) * 15 seconds = 1249.95 flaps (rounded to the nearest whole number).
Therefore, a hummingbird will flap its wings approximately 1250 times in 15 seconds.
