In music, a whole note (American) or semibreve(British) is a note represented by a hollow oval note head, like a half note (or minim), and no note stem . Its length is typically equal to four beats in 4/4 time. Most other notes are fractions of the whole note; half notes are played for one half the duration of the whole note, quarter notes (or crotchets) are each played for one quarter the duration, etc. A whole note lasts half as long as a double whole note (or breve).
Two half notes equal one whole notes.
An odd number of half notes cannot be replaced by a whole note, unless the half notes are part of a triplet. There are 2 half notes in a whole note, and 4 in 2 whole notes. Three half notes can be represented by 1 whole note and 1 half note. This is only true if the half notes are slurred together in the first place.

notes that are equal to two quarter notes are: 1 half-note, 4 eight-notes. Hope this helps
16 sixteenths equal one whole. So 16/2 = 8 sixteenths = half a whole.

A natural major scale consists of seven notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. It is constructed by following a specific pattern of whole steps and half steps between the notes. The pattern is: whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.
