Question

If a bug can flap its wings at a rate of 60 times in 2 seconds, how many times do they flap their wings in 2.604 minutes? Round to 1 decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

4,687.2 flaps

Step-by-step explanation:

#We calculate the number of flaps per second:

$Flaps/Second=\frac{60}{2}\\\\=30 \ flaps$

#Since one minute has 60 seconds, we will multiply our time by 60 seconds and then by flaps/second:

$Flaps=Rate \times time\\\\=30\times 2.604\times 60\\\\=4687.2\ flaps$

Hence, the bird makes 4,687.2 flaps in 2.604 minutes.
