depends on the tempo (3 over 4, 2 over 4, 4 over 4). Easy answer is in a 4 over 4 tempo,
a whole note receives 4 counts (the whole measure),
a half note receives 2 counts,
a quarter note receives 1 count (or beat) (see the pattern?),
and watch this: half of a quarter is an eighth (music) so an eighth note receives half a count.
test to you: how many counts does a sixteenth note receive?.

An eighth note is worth half a beat.
That means it's not a quarter note, it is an eighth note, which counts for half a beat of a quarter note.
well i think it gets 1 because eighth note by it self is 1/2 so if it a pair of eighth notes it is 11/2+1/2=1i think
One beat. The number on the bottom tells you which note gives you one count. The number on top tells you how many counts there are per measure.
two counts
