Answer:

88 bpm

Step-by-step explanation:

A minute is equal to 60 seconds, so we can setup an equation with
(22)/(15) = (x)/(60) with beats/second. We can cross multiply to get 1320 = 15x. Now we can divide 1320 by 15 to get 88. Our final answer would be 88 bpm. (You can also just multiply 22 by 4 because 15 is 1/4 of 60)
