Answer:

165 beats per minute

Explanation:

You want to know beats per minute if John's pulse is 66 beats in 24 seconds.

Beats per minute

"Per" means "divided by" in this context.

Beats divided by minutes is ...

(66 beats)/(2/5 minute) = 66×5/2 beats/minute = 165 beats/minute

John's pulse rate is 165 beats per minute.
