Answer:
1 whole note and 1 quarter note
Explanation:
Only 4 beats are in a 4/4 time, so we have to determine which of these note combinations don't equal 4 beats.
Background Information:
Quarter note = 1 beat
Half note = 2 beats
Whole note = fills up the whole measure (so in this case, 4 beats)
Now let's consider our options.
2 half notes equals a full 4/4 measure.
4 quarter notes equals a full 4/4 measure.
1 whole note and 1 quarter note equal 5/4, which is NOT a 4/4 measure.
1 half note and 2 quarter notes equal a full 4/4 measure.
I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)
