To calculate the frequency in hertz, we have to measure the time in seconds.
That is, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds.
Number of time it beats = 75 times per minute.
Frequency is given as:
Number of times it beats/Total time taken in seconds = 75/60 = 1.25 Hz.
Hence, the frequency of a man's heartbeat is 1.25 times per second.
