four sixteen notes can be played in the same amount of time as two

Question

quarter notes
eight notes
half notes
whole notes

Answer 1

Four sixteenth notes can be played in the same amount of time as one quarter note.

In general, the time value relationships of musical notes are as follows:

• 4 sixteenth notes = 1 quarter note
• 2 eighth notes = 1 quarter note
• 1 half note = 2 quarter notes
• 1 whole note = 4 quarter notes

So, to clarify, two quarter notes would take twice the time of four sixteenth notes.
