Answer:

100 beats per minute

Explanation:

If it takes 28.8 secs for the piano to play 48 beats, then it would take 60 secs (1 minute) to play x number of beats.

To find the value of x, which is the number of beats the piano makes per minute, let's set the proportion as shown below:

28.8 secs = 48 beats

60 secs = x beats

Cross multiply

28.8*x = 60*48

28.8x = 2,880

Divide both sides by 28.8

x = 2,880/28.8

x = 100

✅Thus, if the Piano plays 48 beats in 28.8 secs, therefore, the tempo of the piano in beats per minute would be 100 BPM
