Well. in a 4 pattern time signature, a dotted half note get s 3 full beats and eight notes get half a beat. therefore, 2 eighth notes equals one beat, and three sets of two (or 6 eighth notes) equals 3 beats, the same number of beats as a dotted half note.

Just to be clear though: 6 eighth notes would not be played as the rythym pattern as a dotted half note.

When you augmentation does a quarter note equals half note?

I think you mean, if you"dot" a quarter note, does it equal a half note? The answer to that is NO. Dotting a note makes it 50% longer, or in other words adds half the original value. If a quarter note gets one beat then a dotted quarter note gets 1.5 beats. A half note is DOUBLE a quarter note, or 100% longer (2 beats). It's easy to think about if you measure in eighth notes: Quarter Note = 2 Eighth Notes Dotted Quarter = 3 Eighth Notes Half Note = 4 Eighth Notes.
