Question

A hummingbird can travel up to 15 meters per second. What is the hummingbirds speed in miles per hour? 1 mile = 1609 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

33.56 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will see how many meters the hummingbird can travel in an hour (in meters)

it can travel up to 15 meters per second, but we know that one hour has 3600 seconds ( because an hour has 60 minutes of 60 seconds each one ( 60 x 60 = 3600)

So the hummingbird can travel 3600 x 15 = 54,000 meters in one hour.

Now, we know that 1 mile = 1609 meters, so in order to convert the 54,000 meters in miles per hour we're going to use a rule of three.

1 mile ----------- 1609 meters

x miles ---------- 54,000 meters

x miles = 54,000/1,609 = 33.56

Therefore, the hummingbird speed is 33.56 miles per hour.
