Any dotted note takes the value of the note and adds one-half the notes original value. Thus, a dotted 16th note takes the original 16th and adds on another 32nd making the total value 3/32nds.
one and a half beats. its pretty easy when you get the hang of it
In 2/2 time, also known as cut time, there are two beats per measure, and each beat is a half note. A sixteenth note is one-fourth the duration of a quarter note and one-eighth the duration of a half note. Therefore, in 2/2 time, a sixteenth note is worth one-eighth of a beat. This means that it takes four sixteenth notes to equal one beat in this time signature.
A musical note that contains three beats is called a dotted half note.
A sixteenth rest represents a silence that lasts for one-sixteenth of a whole note in music. In a measure of 4/4 time, there are four sixteenth rests, as each measure can contain four sixteenth notes or rests. Thus, a sixteenth rest is equivalent to one-sixteenth of the total duration of the measure.
In musical notation, a crotchet (quarter note) is worth 1 beat, a dotted crotchet (dotted quarter note) is worth 1.5 beats, and a quaver (eighth note) is worth 0.5 beats. Adding these together: 1 (crotchet) + 1.5 (dotted crotchet) + 0.5 (quaver) + 1 (crotchet) equals 4 beats in total. Thus, the sum of a crotchet, a dotted crotchet, a quaver, and another crotchet is 4 beats.
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.

The sixteenth note
Well, if 4 sixteenth notes equal one quarter note (commontime) and a dot (.) adds half of the value, the answer must be 6

The dotted note is half again the value of the regular note.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some music theory! So, like, in a dotted eighth note, you've got three sixteenth notes, right? And each sixteenth note can be divided into two thirty-second notes. So, like, math-wise, that's six thirty-second notes in a dotted eighth note. Bam!
Oh, this can be so tricky, depending on the meter of the piece in question and how complex the passage is. The quick and dirty answer is that a dotted eighth has the value of three sixteenth notes. You can see that two eighth notes would be equal to 4 sixteenth notes, right? If you pair a dotted eighth note with a sixteenth note (you will see this very often: the two notes are connected with one flag/bar, the dot comes with the first note, and there is an added flag/bar segment to the second note that is short; it doesn't extend back to the first note) then the dotted eighth takes the place of the first 3 sixteenth notes in a group of four sixteenths.

there are six 16th notes in a dotted quarter note
A dotted eighth note is equal in duration to three sixteenth notes.
