A quarter note takes up 1 beat. A minim takes up 2 beats. Therefore, there are 2 quarter notes in a minim, or half note.
4 quavers = one minim
A minim is also known as the half note. When the duration of the note is considered, it contains two quarter notes (crotchets) or four eighth notes (quavers) or eight sixteenth notes (semiquavers) etc.

Notes and values are found in music, and in written musical scores. Notes are the melodic notes of a particular pitch, and values are their duration, e.g. crotchet - quarter note, minim - half note, etc.
half note = one minim quarter note = one crotchet. So it would come to 3 beats altogether.
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.
In music, a "minim" is a note played half as long as a whole note. Where a "crochet" is a note played one quarter of a whole note (or seimbreve).
In music notation, a semi-quaver is a sixteenth note, while a minim is equivalent to two half notes. When a minim is dotted, it adds half of its original value, making it equal to three half notes or six quarter notes. Therefore, there are 24 semi-quavers in a dotted minim.
