Some species of hummingbirds appear to hover in mid-air by flapping their tiny wings 80 times per second. How many times per minute do hummingbirds flap their wings?

So the way to answer this question is to convert minute to seconds

We know that a minute has 60 seconds

The problem states that the hummingbird flaps its wings 80 times per second

So 80 times per second x 60 seconds = 4800 times would be the final answer.
