No. In 4/4 time, semibreves last for 4 beats. Minims last for 2 beats.
In half common time or 2/2 time a semibreve is the same length as a minim
A minim note is twice faster than a semibreve.
There are 16 semiquavers in a semibreve. A minim is worth two beats and a semibreve is worth four beats. So, a minim should be worth half of what a semibreve is worth. The answer is 8.
A minim.
There are six quavers in a dotted minim.
A semibreve is four times longer than a crotchet. If you imagine a semibreve with a length of 64 (for theory's sake) as a 'whole note', a half note with a length of 32 is a minim, a quarter note with length 16 is a crotchet, etc. The list goes on. Here's a helpful link: http://neilhawes.com/sstheory/theory12.htm Scroll down to the table and you should find that very illustrative. {| ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! | |}

Well, honey, a minim is half the value of a semibreve, and when you dot a note, you add half of its value again. So, a dotted semibreve is worth 3 minims. It's like adding a little extra spice to your musical stew.

A minim is equal to two crotchet beats, while a semibreve is equal to four crotchet beats. Therefore, there are two minims in a semibreve.
There are 6.
