The bee hummingbird is the smallest bird.  It can weigh as little as 2 grams.  The largest bird, the ostrich, can weigh as much as 150 kilograms.  What percent of the weight of a bee hummingbird is the weight of an ostrich?

Abigail Allen · Accepted Answer

#=0.00133%# (1) "Kilogram" equals 1,000 grams Hence we can write ostrich weighs #150xx1,000=150,000# grams Consequently, the percentage of bee weight to ostrich weight #=2/150000 xx 100# #=0.00133%#

Avery Alexander · Answer

undefined The weight of an ostrich is 150,000 grams. To find the percentage of the weight of a bee hummingbird compared to an ostrich, divide the weight of the bee hummingbird (2 grams) by the weight of the ostrich (150,000 grams) and multiply by 100.

(2 grams / 150,000 grams) * 100 ≈ 0.0013%

So, the weight of a bee hummingbird is approximately 0.0013% of the weight of an ostrich.
