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.

A hummingbird flies at an average speed of 25-30 miles per hour and can do a fast dive at up to 60 miles per hour. A: Yes. A cheetah will run at about 70 miles per hour and a hummingbird flies at about 25-30 miles per hour.

The midpoint of MN is point P at (–4, 6). If point M is at (8, –2), what are the coordinates of point N?

tester [92]

The midpoint of a line segment is the average of the endpoint's coordinates, mathematically:

mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

In this case:

(-4,6)=((8+x)/2, (-2+y)/2)

(-8,12)=((8+x),(y-2))

(-16, 14)=(x,y)
