In 3/4 time, there are three beats in a measure, and each beat is typically a quarter note. Each quarter note can be divided into four 16th notes.
So, in 3/4 time:
- 1 measure = 3 beats
- 1 beat (quarter note) = 4 16th notes
Therefore:
- 3 beats × 4 16th notes per beat = 12 16th notes
To rest for an entire measure in 3/4 time, you would need to rest for 12 16th notes. The answer is not eight, 1216, or 18—it's 12.
