An eighth note takes up 1/8th of a measure. The length of the measure is determined by the length of the time signature. For instance, in common (or 4/4 time) there are 4 beats in a measure. A whole note takes 4 beats, a half note takes 2, a quarter note takes 1 beat and an eighth note gets 1/2 a beat.

An eighth note gets half a beat
Those two notes equal a dotted eighth note. 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.
1) its actually, how many BEATS in and 8th and whole note. 2) there are 4 beats in a whole note 3) there is 1/2 a beat in an eighth note
In standard time it is worth one beat.
It gets half of a beat. Two eighth notes equal one quarter note.
An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
Two eighth notesOne quarter note is one beat
A quaver with one tail is an eighth beat, that is, an eighth of a whole note (semibreve), or half a standard beat (crotchet).A quaver with two tails is not a quaver at all, but a semiquaver, and is a sixteenth of a whole note.== ==
an eighth note or a quavier is worth 1/2 a beat in the bar so the decimal is 0.5
