Monarch butterflies flap their wings about 12 times a second in

flight. How many times do they flap their wings in 1 hour of flight?

Remember: 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in one hour.

So if butterflies flap 12 times per second, multiply that number by 60 to get how many times the butterfly flaps their wings in a minute. then, multiply that number by 60 again to get the flaps of number per minute.

12x60=720x60=43,200
