Question 1 of 10 A dotted half note has __ beats when the time signature is 4/4 __

In music theory, a dotted half note is a half note with a dot added after it. The dot adds half of the value of the note it follows. A half note in 4/4 time signature has 2 beats. When a dot is added to it, it adds half of its value, which is 1 beat. Therefore, a dotted half note has 2 beats (from the half note) + 1 beat (from the dot) = 3 beats.
