Whatever the number at the bottom of the time signature is, you divide that number by eight to figure out the number of beats in an eighth note.

Eighth note gets how many beats. In this time signature the top number 4 means that there are four beats in each measure. So while an 8th note gets half a beat in a 4/4 time signature in a time signature with 8 at the bottom (for example 6/8) the 8th. Im sure you can figure the rest out.

For instance, in common (or 4/4 time) there are. 3 rows eight eighths (8/8) equal a whole. An eighth note takes up 1/8th of a measure.

A 1/4 note = 2 eighth notes,. An eighth note is equal to 1/8 of the whole note and lasts. In this case, it’s a quarter note.

How many beats does an eighth note or an eighth rest receive? The dotted half note receives 3 beats while the eighth note receives 1/2 of a beat. A typical tune may be in 4/4.

What is the rest of 3 4? It is worth one beat, therefore it can be divided into two equal beats. A note value can be divided and subdivided in equal parts.

The most common time signature, at least in western music is 4/4, also known as common time. In terms of beats, (assuming common time) then the eighth note gets a half a beat and the sixteenth note gets a quarter of a beat, so the two of them together get 3/4 of a beat.
