Answer

(a) $36,300~wing~beats=3.63\times10^{4}~wing~beats$ (b) $1.52\times10^{7}~cycles$

Work Step by Step

(a) $1~min=60~s$ and $1~s=605~wing~beats$ $1~min=(1~min)(\frac{60~s}{1~min})(\frac{605~wing~beats}{1~s})=36,300~wing~beats=3.63\times10^{4}~wing~beats$ (b) $1~s=605~wing~beats$ and $1~s=9,192,631,770~cycles=9.19263177\times10^{9}~cycles$. See page 4. $1~wing~beat=(1~wing~beat)(\frac{1~s}{605~wing~beat})(\frac{9.19263177\times10^{9}~cycles}{1~s})=1.52\times10^{7}~cycles$
