How many quarter notes are in the notation excerpt?

Four measures of rhythm written in four four time as follows: Measure 1: Two half notes; Measure 2: Four eighth notes, quarter note, quarter rest; Measure 3: Two quarter notes, two eighth notes, quarter note; Measure 4: Whole note. please answer

Answer 1

To determine the total number of quarter notes in the notation excerpt you provided, let's analyze each measure one by one:

• Measure 1: Contains two half notes. Each half note is equivalent to two quarter notes. Thus:

  • 2 half notes = 2 × 2 = 4 quarter notes.

• Measure 2: Contains four eighth notes, one quarter note, and one quarter rest. The four eighth notes are equivalent to:

  • 4 eighth notes = 4 × 0.5 = 2 quarter notes.
  • Plus 1 quarter note = 1 quarter note.
  • Total for Measure 2 = 2 + 1 = 3 quarter notes.

• Measure 3: Contains two quarter notes, two eighth notes, and one quarter note. The two eighth notes are equivalent to:

  • 2 eighth notes = 2 × 0.5 = 1 quarter note.
  • Plus 2 quarter notes = 2 quarter notes.
  • Total for Measure 3 = 1 + 2 = 3 quarter notes.

• Measure 4: Contains one whole note. A whole note is equivalent to four quarter notes:

  • 1 whole note = 4 quarter notes.

Now, let's sum the total number of quarter notes from all measures:

• Measure 1: 4 quarter notes
• Measure 2: 3 quarter notes
• Measure 3: 3 quarter notes
• Measure 4: 4 quarter notes

Total = 4 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 14 quarter notes.

Therefore, the total number of quarter notes in the notation excerpt is 14.
