A crotchet, commonly known as a quarter note in American music terminology, is called so because it represents one quarter of a whole note (or semibreve). In a 4/4 time signature, there are four beats in a measure, and each crotchet accounts for one beat, hence the name "quarter." This terminology helps musicians understand the note's duration and its relationship to the whole note.

a quarter note or crotchet
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.
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.
