It depends on what the count is. If it's 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4, where the quarter note is one beat, then three fourths of a quarter note is a dotted eighth note.
If it's 2/2 time, for example, then a beat is a half note, then three fourths of that is a dotted quarter note.

dotted crotchet, dotted crotchet, quaver. one two three, one two three, one two.
Semibreves cannot be tied to dotted minims. In any case, a semibreve is worth 4 crotchets and a minim is worth 2, but a dot adds half the value of the note to the note, so a dotted minim is worth 3. The answer to your question is 7 crotchets but it is not possible.
The semibreve (UK naming convention) or whole note (US naming convention) usually has a duration of four beats, with a crochet (UK) or quarter note (US) per beat. In that case, a dotted semibreve has a duration of six beats, since a dotted note is one and a half times the duration of the basic note. Remember the "usually" though. It is quite common to count a single beat per minim (half note) in faster music, or even to count a semibreve per beat in some circumstances. In slower pieces, the music may be counted with a quaver (eight note) per beat. In any case, though, a dotted note is one and a half times the duration of the basic note.

Yes, the idea of a dotted beat in music is really simple. A rhythmic pattern known as a "dotted rhythm" consists of one note that is half the length of the preceding note. An eighth note, for instance, would come after a dotted quarter note. The dotted quarter, which is the first note, receives 3/4 of the beat, but the eighth, which is the second note, receives 1/4 of the beat. This produces a unique rhythmic feel that is frequently employed in a variety of musical genres. Dotted rhythms give the beat more intensity and accentuation. They are a typical technique used in musical compositions to add syncopation and rhythmic interest.
