It gets 3/4 of a beat.
If you count in 4/4 meter, and the Dotted eighth note is on the first beat, it's count would be: 1 & 2 & etc.
The action of the dot increases the value of the eighth note by half it's value. Half the value of an eighth note is a sixteenth note.
So a dotted eighth note = eighth note + sixteenth note

nothing
Dots at 1/2 the value of the previous note, so in 4/4 time, a dotted quarter note would receive 1.5 beats
1 and a half beats
How many dotted quarter note equal eighth note
The dotted-quarter note in a faster song, or the 8th note in a slower one.

3 quarter notes equal one dotted half note. A quarter note is one beat, and a dotted half note is three beats, so there are 3 quarter notes in a dotted half note.
A dotted quarter note is equal to 1.5 beats. Three quarter notes are 3 beats. Therefore, 3 quarter notes is equal to 2 dotted quarter notes.
Dots at 1/2 the value of the previous note, so in 4/4 time, a dotted quarter note would receive 1.5 beats
1 and a half beats
A dotted quarter note. (One beat for the quarter note and half a beat for the dot.)
How many dotted quarter note equal eighth note
That would depend on the time signature What if we do not know what the time signature is? The question we were given is how many beats in a double dotted quaiver?
To accurately count dotted notes in music notation, you count the number of beats the note is worth and then add half of that value. For example, a dotted quarter note is worth 1.5 beats because it is equal to a quarter note (1 beat) plus half of a quarter note (0.5 beats).
The dotted-quarter note in a faster song, or the 8th note in a slower one.
There are 3 eighth notes in a dotted quarter note.
Dots at 1/2 the value of the previous note, so in 4/4 time, a dotted quarter note would receive 1.5 beats
