Question

A hummingbird can beat its wings 4,200 times in a minute in normal flight. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of times, b, the hummingbird beats its wings in an hour, and then solve the equation.

Answer 1

Answer:252000 is your answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

We have been given that a hummingbird can beat its wings 4,200 times in a minute. We need to find the equation that represents the number of times the hummingbird beats its wings in an hour.

We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour.

Hence, in an hour, the hummingbird can beat
`60* 4200` times its wings.

Therefore, the required equation is given by

`b=60* 4200 \\ \text{When solving the equation, we get}\\ b=252000`
