1
4
6
8
This pictured piece of music is being played in 6/8 time, which means that there are six beats in each measure, and each beat is one-eighth-note long. That notation is called the song’s time signature, and it can essentially be anything its composer desires. Most often, songs are written and performed in 4/4 time, which is also represented by the letter “c” for “common time.”
The correct answer to this quiz is 6.
