quarter note
half note
whole note
eight note

Answer 1

In a note tree, if you add up the durations from left to right on any level, you typically end up with a whole note. This is because, in music notation, different note values add up to create larger values, and commonly all subdivisions at a given level will sum up to a whole.

For example:

• Four quarter notes equal one whole note.
• Two half notes equal one whole note.
• Eight eighth notes equal one whole note.

Therefore, the correct answer is a whole note.
