Sure! Let's complete each sentence with the correct musical equivalents:
1. Two half notes are equal to 4 quarter notes.
Explanation: Each half note is equal to 2 quarter notes. Therefore, two half notes would be equivalent to 2 2 = 4 quarter notes.
2. One whole note is equal to 4 quarter rests and 2 half notes.
Explanation: A whole note is equivalent to 4 quarter notes, and thus it is also equal to 4 quarter rests since a rest duration matches the corresponding note duration. Additionally, since each half note is 2 quarter notes, a whole note (4 quarter notes) is equal to 2 half notes.
3. One dotted quarter note is equal to 3 eighth rests.
Explanation: A dotted quarter note holds the value of a quarter note plus an eighth note. Since a quarter note is equal to 2 eighth notes, adding another half of that (which is 1 eighth note) results in 3 eighth notes or three eighth rests in rest values.
4. One half rest is equal to 2 quarter rests.
Explanation: A half rest has the same duration as a half note, which is equal to 2 quarter notes. Therefore, a half rest is equal to 2 quarter rests.
5. Two eighth notes are equal to 4 sixteenth notes.
Explanation: Each eighth note is equivalent to 2 sixteenth notes. Therefore, two eighth notes would be equal to 2 2 = 4 sixteenth notes.
