Well, if 4 sixteenth notes equal one quarter note (commontime) and a dot (.) adds half of the value, the answer must be 6
there are six 16th notes in a dotted quarter note
There are four sixteenth notes in one quarter note. This is because there is 2 sixteenth notes in one eight note, and 2 eight note in a quarter, solving your problem. Best Regards, from Mishico :D
Twelve. Remember that the dot always adds one half of the original note to the total - so a dotted half note is three beats in length. (Cut a half note in half and you get a quarter, so a dotted half note is two beats for the half note and one beat for the quarter you added to it) So now you can take those three beats (Three quarter notes) and cut them in half, which is six eighth notes, and then cut that in half and get twelve sixteenth notes. Phew. I hope that made sense.
Rule of Three: Each note value contains within it, three of the next smallest note. Ex: one Quarter note equals three Eight notes, and one Half note equals three Quarter notes. So a Sixteenth note equals three 32nd notes.
Whole/Dotted whole note/rest, Half/Dotted Half note/rest, Quarter/Dotted Quarter note/rest, Eighth/Dotted Eighth note/rest, Sixteenth/Dotted Sixteenth note/rest. These are the most common note values. They do go on though. All you have to do is multiply each number by two. For example: the next note/rest value after sixteenth is Thirty-second/Dotted Thirty-second. Then sixty-fourth; and so on.
Two sixteenths in an eighth. Two eights in a quarter. The dot equals one sixteenth. So that's five sixteenths in a dotted quarter.

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.
There are 3 eighth notes in a dotted quarter note.

one and one fourth
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter note.
