No, the dot is worth 1/2 beat, so the note (a dotted quarter) is now worth 1 1/2 beats.
Apologies for the error. You are correct. A dot added to a quarter note in four-four time makes the note worth one-and-a-half beats, not half a beat. Thank you for pointing that out.
hey does any1 know for the 2nd question
To determine the number of beats that a note with a dot is worth in four-four time, you can use the rule of dotting notes. When a dot is added to a note, it increases the note's duration by 50%.
In four-four time, each quarter note is worth one beat. Therefore, if a dot is added to a quarter note, it increases the duration by 50% of one beat.
To calculate this, you would take half of one beat (which is 0.5), and then add it to the original duration of one beat.
So, the note with a dot is worth one beat (original duration) plus half a beat (50% increase), which equals one-and-a-half beats.
Therefore, the correct answer is: one-and-a-half beats.
