To find the duration equivalent of the given rhythmic values, let's break them down into their individual note values:
- Quarter note = 1 beat
- Sixteenth note = 1/4 beat
- Eighth note = 1/2 beat
Now, calculating the total duration of the given notes:
- Quarter note = 1 beat
- Sixteenth note + Sixteenth note = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 beat
- Quarter note = 1 beat
- Eighth note = 1/2 beat
- Quarter note = 1 beat
Now, adding these together:
1 (quarter note) + 0.25 (sixteenth) + 0.25 (sixteenth) + 1 (quarter note) + 0.5 (eighth) + 1 (quarter note)
= 1 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 1 + 0.5 + 1 = 4 beats
Now let's compare this total duration to the options:
- Half note = 2 beats
- Dotted half note = 3 beats
- Whole note = 4 beats
- Eighth note = 0.5 beats
The duration equivalent to all the rhythmic values together (4 beats) is a whole note.
