Dotted whole note, also known as a breve, or a double whole note.
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter note.
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.
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).
notes that are equal to two quarter notes are: 1 half-note, 4 eight-notes. Hope this helps
1 dotted half note = 3 beats 1 dotted whole note = 6 beats so 6/3 = 2 2 dotted whole notes equals a dotted half note
16 sixteenths equal one whole. So 16/2 = 8 sixteenths = half a whole.
there are no whole notes in a half beat please think if it's called a half note then it's half of a whole note a whole note is 4 beats so half of 4 is 2.

Two Half notes. Four Quarter Notes.
Well a semibreve is a whole note which is 4 beats. There are different combinations of notes that equal 4 beats. For example, 4 quarter notes, 2 half notes, a dotted half note and a quarter note, 16 sixteenth notes, 8 eighth notes. These different types of notes can be put together to equal 4 beats or a semibreve.
A quarter note is equal to 1 beat. A half note is equal to 2 beats. Therefore, two half notes are equal to 2 x 2 = 4 quarter notes.
Four quarter notes is equal to one whole note (the empty note head with no stem). One whole note is held for four beats. Four quarter noes is also equal to two half notes (the empty note head with a stem). Each half note is equal to two quarter notes. To put it another way: one half note is worth twice the value of a quarter note. Four quarter notes is also equal to eight eighth notes (the filled note heads with flags). Each eighth note is worth half of the value of one quarter note. Four quarter notes is also equal to sixteen sixteenth notes (filled note heads with two flags). Each sixteenth note is worth half of the value of the eighth note or one fourth of one quarter note. Those are the most common divisions of four quarter notes. You can also mix and match those divisions; for example, four quarter notes takes up the same amount of time as one half note plus one quarter note plus two eighth notes. There are hundreds of thousands of configurations that could rewrite the value of those four quarter notes, which is just one reason why there is so much variation in the types of music it is possible to write!
