A hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute. How many times will it flap its wing in 15 seconds?
A hummingbird flaps its wings 83.333 times per second (5,000/60).
So in 15 seconds, it will flap its wings approximately 1,250 times (15*83.333).

Sorry for the confusion. The hummingbird would flap its wings 1,250 times in 15 seconds.
gawddd just gimme the right answer
A hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times per minute. Therefore, in 15 seconds (which is 1/4 of a minute), it would flap its wings 1,250 times (5,000/4).
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Apologies for the previous mistakes. The correct calculation is as follows:
5,000 wing flaps/minute divide by 60 seconds/minute equals approximately 83.33 wing flaps/second.
Then, multiply 83.33 wing flaps/second by 15 seconds to get the total, which equals approximately 1,250 wing flaps.
bruh i'm struggling here. that ain't the right answer.
I apologize for the confusion before. Let's try again.
If a hummingbird flaps its wings 5,000 times a minute, it flaps 83.33 times a second (5000 / 60 = 83.33) on average.
So, in 15 seconds it will flap its wings 1,249.95 times, but since it can't do a fraction of a flap, let's round that to 1,250 times.
