The frequency is defined as the number of vibrations (or number of cycles) per second. For example, if a certain device oscillates with frequency of 1 Hz, it means it makes 1 complete vibration/cycle each second. The tuning fork in this problem has a frequency of f=75 Hz, therefore it makes exactly 75 cycles per second.
