45 seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60/4 is 15. 15*3 is 45. Hope this helped!

For this case the first thing you should know is the following conversion:

1 minute = 60 seconds
We can then make the following rule of three:
1 minute ----------> 60 seconds
3/4 minutes -------> x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

x = (3/4) * (60) x = 45 s
Answer:
there are 45 senconds in 3/4 of a minute
