Think about what the period is, what it means. This is probably easier than you think.

What are the units of frequency? What are the units of period? That should help...

if u wana find the frequency, which is the number of cycles per second, find out how many breaths u take in 1 sec and put it in2 the formula, it is basic conversion thats all, it is easier that you think, just stop thinking "complicated", think basic :) hope this helps :)

A tiny important thing to remember is what Hertz are.
$$1 Hz \equiv \frac {1}{second}$$
