Answer 1

A dotted quarter note is worth one-and-a-half beats in four-four time. The quarter note itself is worth one beat, and the dot adds half of that value (which is 0.5 beats), making the total value of the dotted quarter note 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 beats.

So, the correct answer is one-and-a-half beats.
