A hummingbird can travel up to 15 meters per second.


What is the hummingbird's speed, to the nearest tenth, in miles per hour?


Use 1 mile ≈≈ 1609 meters.

Verified Answer :

Speed=15 m/s
1 hour=60 minutes
60 minutes=60 minutes (60 seconds/1 minute)=3600 seconds.

 
15 m/s=(15 m/s)(1 mile / 1609 m)(3600 s/1h)=33.56... miles/hour≈
≈33.6 miles/hour.

Answer: the speed in miles per hour would be 33.6 miles/hour

Speed is an enormous amount which refers to "the fast motion of an object", the speed considers as the rate of the distance of an object. The quick-moving object has a high speed and spans a couple of miles, and the further calculation can be defined as follows:

Given:

hummingbird Speed\(=15 \ \frac{meter}{second}\)

To find:

Convert the hummingbird's speed into nearest tenth and in miles/hour

Solution:

\(\therefore\\\\\to 1 \ hour =60\ minute\\\\\to 1\ minute=60 \ second\\\\\because\\\\1 \ hour =60 \times 60 =3600 \ seconds.\)

Converting speed:    

\(\to 15 \frac{m}{s}=(15 \frac{m}{s})(1 \frac{mile}{1609 m})(3600 \frac{s}{1h})=33.56 \frac{miles}{hour} \approx 33.6\ \frac{miles}{hour}\)

Therefore, the speed would be 33.6 miles per hour in miles.
