To determine the total number of beats for the given musical symbols, we need to break down the value of each symbol:
- A quarter note is worth 1 beat.
- Each eighth rest is worth 0.5 beats. Since there are two eighth rests, their total is 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 beat.
- A half note is worth 2 beats.
- A half rest is also worth 2 beats.
- A quarter rest is worth 1 beat.
Now, let's add these values together:
- Quarter note: 1 beat
- Two eighth rests: 1 beat
- Half note: 2 beats
- Half rest: 2 beats
- Quarter rest: 1 beat
Now we add them all up:
1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 beats
So, the total number of beats for the rhythm is 7.
