Answer 1

The question is asking what three quarter notes equal in musical notation.

In music, a quarter note is typically worth one beat. Therefore, three quarter notes would equal three beats.

If you want to express this in terms of notation:

• A whole note is worth four beats.
• When a dot is added to a whole note, it adds half of its value, making it worth six beats (4 + 2).
• A half note is worth two beats; a dot would make it worth three beats (2 + 1).
• An eighth note is worth half a beat.

Since three quarter notes (3 beats) equate to a straight rhythm without any additional dots, the correct answer would be none of the options with more than three beats.

However, if the provided choices involve a dot on a quarter note, that would suggest a quarter note with a dot is indicated, which adds half of its value (1 + 0.5 = 1.5 beats).

Thus, if you're filling in the blank with the options provided, please select: An image shows a quarter note with a small dot placed immediately to the right of its oval.
