.0016 kilo grams is the weight of the humming bird. so you have to divide 13 by .0016 which equals 8,125 so the answer is: the california condors mass is 8125 times as great as the humming bird :)))

Answer:

A California condor's mass is 8,125 times bigger than that of a bee hummingbird.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to put both birds into the same unit of measurement, so, as the bee hummingbird has its weight measured in grams and the California condor in kilos, we will use the common denominator, which are grams (each kilo is composed of 1,000 grams).

Therefore, as 1 kilo is equal to 1,000 grams, we can say that a California condor weighs 13,000 grams (13 x 1,000 = 13,000).

Then, we have to divide the condor's weight by the hummingbird's one to know the relation between both weights. Therefore, as 13,000 / 1.6 is equal to 8,125, we can say that a California condor's mass is 8,125 times bigger than that of a bee hummingbird.
