Question

In music, a quaver is one-eighth of a semibreve (whole note). What fraction of a semibreve is a hemidemisemiquaver? (Hint: hemi-, demi-, and semi- are prefixes each of which represents a multiplication by one-half).

Answer 1

Answer:

1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

Semibreve = whole note

Quaver = 1/8 of a semibreve

Hemidemisemiquaver =

• The product of hemi (1/2) demi (1/2) semi (1/2) quaver (1/8)  =

• 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/64 of a semibreve (or whole note)

So hemidemisemiquaver is 1/64 of a semibreve
