It depends on the time signature. If the time signature is x/4, the the whole note gets 4 beats. It also depends on where the dot is. If the dot is above the whole note, it gets two beats; if it is to the right of the whole note it gets six beats.

How many beats is a whole note and a dot?
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.
Explain what a dot after a note does to the value of the note?
A dot beside the note adds one half of the note value to itself. For instance, in 4/4 time a half note equals 2 beats, but with a dot beside the note it would become equal to 3 beats. Another example is a whole note in 4/4 time. The whole note would be equal to 4 beats, but with a dot, it would become equal to 6 beats.
When a dot is placed after any note what dies it mean?
It extends the note for exactly half its value. For example, a dotted half note is worth three beats. Half of a half note is one beat, add that on to the two beats a half note is already worth, and there you have it. Three beats. So, basically we have a half note: 2 We place a dot after it, this dot being worth half its value: 1 It becomes: 3 Half of a half note is not necessarily one beat. These dots have nothing whatsoever to do with beats. If you have a note with a dot after it, the length of that note is extended by 1/2 of that note's length. A second dot means it is extended a further 1/4. Completely irrespective of how many beats there are in a bar.
When a dot is put at the end of any note the dot means that the?
It means that length of the note is increased by one half For example: a semibreve is a whole note, and in 4/4 time or 6/4 time (for example) is worth 4 beats. The addition of a dot means that an extra two beats is added to its duration. A minim is worth two beats. The addition of a dot means it is worth three beats. A crotchet is worth one beat. The addition of a dot means it is worth one and a half beats (or 6 quavers).
How many beats does a half note dot get?
In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)

How many beats is in a whole note?
Commonly, There Are Four, Depending On The Length And Dynamics Of The Notes.

How many beats does a dot get that follows a note?
1 half

What value has a dotted minim got?
Anything with a dot is increased by half of the note's value. So if a note is worth 2 beats and it has a dot, then the dot is 1 which then makes the dotted minim 3 beats.

What does a dotted half note look like?
It's just called a half note
How do you play the dot after the note?
.... The dot after the note means you add half the beat. As in if it were a dotted quarter note, you would make it 1 and a HALF beats because half of one beat is a half. Or a dotted half note, it would be three beats because it is the two original beats plus half of the note.
What is the effect of a dot at the right of a half note?
The dot at the right of a half note makes the half note one beat longer. The dot makes the note to the left of the dot half of the note value longer. For example a quarter note dot is one and a half beats in 4/4 time.
What does a dot do to the value of a note?
It adds to the total duration of the note one half of whatever immediately precedes the dot.
