Question

If a that was added to a Quarter note in 4/4 how many beats is the note worth

Answer 1

In 4/4 time, a quarter note is worth 1 beat. If you add a dot to a quarter note (creating a dotted quarter note), the dot adds half of the original note's value to the note.

So, for a quarter note:
- Original value = 1 beat
- Half of the quarter note's value = 1/2 beat

Adding this together gives:
1 beat + 1/2 beat = 1.5 beats

Therefore, a dotted quarter note is worth 1.5 beats in 4/4 time.
