Adding a dot to a note takes half of the value of the original note and adds it to the original value of the note. So in other words, a note's value multiplied by 1.5 is equal to the dotted notes value. A dotted crotchet is worth one and a half beats, assuming each crotchet is worth a beat.

A crotchet takes 1 beat. A dot is worth half value of the principal note. Therefore a dotted crotchet takes 1 1/2 beats in a simple time signature.
