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?
The hummingbird will flap its wings times.
To find the number of wing flaps in 15 seconds, we need to convert 15 seconds into minutes.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 15 seconds is equivalent to 15/60 = 0.25 minutes.
Therefore, the hummingbird will flap its wings 5,000 times per minute * 0.25 minutes = 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
