Composers of music use fractions to indicate the amount of time, or counts, given to a each note of a song. For example, the amount of time given to a whole note is twice the time given to a half note. That means that if their are four counts to a measure, a whole note will get all four and a half note only two. Fill in the appropriate numbers to make equivalent expressions below.
