Answer:

There would be 429 total beats in the second song. (i hope this helps)

Explanation:

The number of beats is proportional to the time of the song. Convert the time to seconds to avoid recurring decimals.

4 minutes 12 seconds = 4×60+12= 252 seconds

3 minutes 54 seconds = 4×60−6=234 seconds

X/234 =462/252

X= 234 x 462

252

X= 429
