Question

The ruby- throated hummingbird has a wing beat of about 200 beats per second. About how many wings beats would a huming bird have in 3 minutes

Answer 1

Well 200 beats per second is 12,000 beats a minute times 3 for 3 minutes is 36,000 beats every three minutes

Answer 2

there are 60 seconds in one minute
200 beats per second
200 x 60 = 12000 beats per minute

Then multiply 12000 by 3

36000 wing beats in 3 minutes
