Let's solve this Musical Math Worksheet step by step. The goal is to add the values of musical notes using standard note durations.

---

🎵 Basic Note Values (in beats):

- Whole note (○) = 4 beats
- Half note (♩) = 2 beats
- Dotted half note (♩.) = 3 beats (half note + half of its value: 2 + 1 = 3)
- Quarter note (♪) = 1 beat
- Eighth note (♫) = 0.5 beat
- Dotted quarter note (♪.) = 1.5 beats (quarter note + half of it: 1 + 0.5 = 1.5)
- Two eighth notes (♫♫) = 1 beat total
- Sixteenth note (♬) = 0.25 beat
- Dotted eighth note (♫.) = 0.75 beat

We'll use these to solve each problem.

✔ Left Column:

1. ♩ + ♩. = 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 beats → Dotted Half Note (♩.) or 3½ beats
- Answer: ♩.

2. ♩. + ♩. = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3 beats → Dotted Half Note (♩.)
- Answer: ♩.

3. ♩. + ♩. = same as above → 3 beats → ♩.
- Answer: ♩.

4. ○ + ♩. = 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 beats
- This equals a whole note + dotted quarter note, but no single note equals 5.5.
- So we write: 5.5 beats or 5½ beats
- But since the worksheet likely wants a note equivalent, let’s see:
- A whole note (4) + dotted quarter (1.5) = 5.5
- No single note for 5.5 → answer is just 5.5 beats
- Answer: 5.5 beats

5. ♩. + ♫ = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 beats → Half note (♩)
- Answer: ♩

6. ♩. + ♫♫ = 1.5 + 1 = 2.5 beats → 2.5 beats
- Or half note + eighth note — not a single note.
- Answer: 2.5 beats

7. ♫ + ♫ = 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 beat → Quarter note (♪)
- Answer: ♪

8. ♫ + ○ = 0.5 + 4 = 4.5 beats
- Answer: 4.5 beats

9. ♩. + ♩ = 1.5 + 2 = 3.5 beats
- Answer: 3.5 beats

10. ♫♫ + ♩. = 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 beats
- Answer: 2.5 beats

✔ Right Column:

11. ♪ + ♩. = 1 + 3 = 4 beats → Whole note (○)
- Answer: ○

12. ♩ + ♬ = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 beats
- Answer: 2.25 beats

13. ♩. + ♩. = 3 + 3 = 6 beats
- This is more than a whole note → 6 beats
- Answer: 6 beats

14. ♩ + ♩. = 2 + 3 = 5 beats
- Answer: 5 beats

15. ♪ + ♩ = 1 + 2 = 3 beats → Dotted half note (♩.)
- Answer: ♩.

16. ♩. + ♩ = 3 + 2 = 5 beats
- Answer: 5 beats

17. ♪ + ♪ = 1 + 1 = 2 beats → Half note (♩)
- Answer: ♩

18. ♩ + ♪ = 2 + 1 = 3 beats → ♩.
- Answer: ♩.

19. ♬ + ♪ = 0.25 + 1 = 1.25 beats
- Answer: 1.25 beats

20. ♩. + ♬ = 3 + 0.25 = 3.25 beats
- Answer: 3.25 beats

🔍 Notes on How to Fill It In:

Since the worksheet asks to "use the correct note values," you should draw the equivalent note if possible, or write the number of beats.

For example:
- If sum = 2 beats → draw a half note (♩)
- If sum = 3 beats → draw a dotted half note (♩.)
- If sum = 1.5 beats → draw a dotted quarter note (♪.)
- If sum = 2.5 beats → no single note, so write "2.5 beats"
