The decimal value of the half note would depend on two things in the time signature:
1. The value of a whole note, denoted by the bottom number in the signature.
2. The number of beats, denoted by the top number in the signature.
Let n be the value of a half-note as the length of a measure. Then
n = (bottom number/2)/top number
Your question has no answer. You cannot translate music into math. A half note is half a beat of the time signature.
The equivalent is two quarter notes, or four eighth notes, or in terms of rests it's equivalent would be the half rest (or two quarter rests etc...).
It is equivalent to half a whole note, or two beats.
Half a semibreve is a minim. As a semibreve is the equivalent of 4 crotchets, a minim (a hollow oval with a stem) is therefore worth 2 crotchets. In America, the semibreve is refered to as 'whole' note and the minim as a 'half' note. Hope this helps!
a dotted half note gets three beats. a "dot" adds half of the value of the note...for example half the value of a half note is one beat...so add that to the half note to get 3 beats

Only one thing. A dotted half-note. The dot extends the length of a note by one-half. There is nothing in notation that stands for a three/quarter note.
That would be the equivalent of a half note. In other words, a sound lasting two beats (assuming a quarter note gets a beat).

A whole note is a note in music that is four beats long. A half note is a note in music that is two beats long.

A whole note is a note in music that is four beats long. A half note is a note in music that is two beats long.
A half note is usually just called a half note. Sometimes it is called a minim.
The sound of the half note depends on which note is being played. A half note represents length, not tone.
