Here's an interesting factoid to remember:

                  (Period of any wave) x (Frequency of the wave)  =  1 .

If you can memorize that, then you'll always remember that

                       Period  =  1 / frequency
and
                 Frequency  =  1 / period .

The second one is what you need for this problem.

                 Frequency  =  1 / period

                                     =  1 / (4.85 x 10⁻² second)

                                     =  1 / (0.0485 second)

                                     =     20.62 / second

                                     =     20.62 Hz.    (rounded)
Frequency, f = 1/T,   Period  T = 4.85 * 10 ⁻² s

f = 1/(4.85 * 10 ⁻²)

f ≈ 20.619 ≈ 20.6

The frequency is B. 20.6 Hertz
