There are a few ways to do this:

1. Count the number of ticks between pulses.  This will give you a period (time).  From there it is just a little math: 60/T

2. Count the number of pulses in a second and then multiply by 60.

 

For both of these, I am assuming 1 pulse per revolution.  If you have more pulses in a revolution, just divide by that number.
