Dots at 1/2 the value of the previous note, so in 4/4 time, a dotted quarter note would receive 1.5 beats
A dotted quarter gains one and half beats when the time is measured by quarter notes (when the lower number of time signature is 4). It is three out of four pulses in a measure of that music piece.
A dotted note is 50% longer than the un-dotted note. A whole note is normally four beats. Hence, a dotted whole note would be six beats.
How many dotted quarter note equal eighth note
I think it's 28 -- there are four sixteenth notes in one quarter note times seven beats in the measure. However, I've never heard of a time signature with seven beats, so it's probably not very relevant. Also, this answer assumes each beat is a quarter note (not, say, a dotted quarter or an eight).
another eighth note because: a quarter + a half=3 beats + eighth = 3 1/2 beats so add another eighth and u get 4 beats.

Below are a list of notes in the decreasing time values. Every note is worth half of the beats of the previous note: breve, semibreve, minim, crotchet, quaver, semiquaver, demisemiquaver, hemidemisimiquaver etc. The crotchet takes one beat in simple time signatures.
A crotchet has one beat. So it has four quarter beats. If the question refers to quarter note, it is an alternative name to the crotchet.
1 and a halfIt's half as long again, i.e. three quavers long instead of two.

In 4:4 time, a quarter note gets one beat. (4:4 means Four beats to the measure and the quarter note is one count)
When there is a dot after a note it means that you add on half of the note's value, for example, a note that lasts for one beat without a dot will have a value of one and a half beats with a dot.
