You would have to use 3,2 which is 3 minims (half notes) which is the equivalent of a dotted semi-breve (dotted whole note) otherwise the time signature would be 1,1.5 which wouldn't work.
The dotted-quarter note in a faster song, or the 8th note in a slower one.
It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
3 beats.
The 6/4 (compound) time signature denotes two dotted half notes (dotted minims) in a bar. A dotted half note is equivalent to three quarter notes. Hence there is 6 quarter notes in a measure with this time signature.
...is a half note when, in the time signature, the quarter note = 1 beat (any time signature/4). In any time/8, it would be a quarter note. Etc, etc...

That would depend on the time signature What if we do not know what the time signature is? The question we were given is how many beats in a double dotted quaiver?
3 beats.
3
A whole note lasts for 4 beats regardless of pitch or time signature. If you are playing a piece in 6/4, for example, a dotted whole note would last the full length of the measure.
A dotted quarter note. (One beat for the quarter note and half a beat for the dot.)

I'm assuming you mean the time signature is 3/2. If this is the case, then a half note gets one beat, so a dotted quarter would get 3/4 of a beat.
If the time is 4/4, the following notes would be: A quarter note (1/4 or 2/8) of the measure) A half note (2/4 or 4/8) of the measure 2 eighth notes (2/8) of the measure.
It's normally called a dotted minim, or using American terminology a dotted half-note, if you are counting in 4 time (counting in crotchets). In 8 time (where each beat is a quaver) it would be a dotted crotchet (dotted quarter-note).
