I have started using the Trinity Guildhall Theory Books with my pupils as I like the layout a lot better than the ABRSM. I have a query regarding pages 18 and 19 grade 2 Slow and Fast Beats. The questions are about speeds and beats using the metronome. I undeststand the bit about the beat being the crotchet and which is fastest -: crotchet = 112 or 60 obviously 112. The bit I am unsure about is where different beats are being used for example-: are 112 minims faster than 60 quavers?
Please could anyone enlighten me on this. Thank you.

112 minims per minute would be 224 crotchets per minute or 448 quavers ..... a bit faster i think!!
