How many total beats of rest would result from combining a half rest and a quarter rest would the answer be one 23 or four

Answer 1

To determine how many total beats of rest result from combining a half rest and a quarter rest, we need to consider the values of each rest:

• A half rest is worth 2 beats.
• A quarter rest is worth 1 beat.

Now, let's add them together:

2 beats (half rest) + 1 beat (quarter rest) = 3 beats of rest.

Given the choices you provided (one, 23, or four), the answer does not match any of those options exactly. However, the total beats of rest from combining a half rest and a quarter rest is 3 beats.
