This question is about music, but i put in arts because that was the closest subject.

what is the formula for constructing a major scale?

a. w h w, w h w w

b. w w h, w w w h

c. w h w, w h +2 h

d. w w w, h w w h

B

Explanation:
*May be helpful to have piano keys*
Let’s start with an explanation of half-steps: A half step is the closest key to the beginning note. For example, if we start at C, the notes a half step away would be C#/Db and B. C#/Db is the closest ascending key from C because it is the black key right above C. B is right below C as a white key. It doesn’t matter whether the closest key is black or white, and the half step will always be the nearest key from the starting note.
2 half steps = 1 whole step
Eg. C to D. C goes to D from taking a half step up to C#/Db and another half step up to D.
By using this knowledge of half steps you can now count the pattern of a c major scale. Keep in mind that a C major scale has all white keys, so every time you land on a white key, record the size of the step. In doing this you will end up with the pattern of “W W h, W W W h”.
