. One beat.

[[... Not quite. That is only true if the time signature has a 4 in the lower half. This means the beat is a quarter note. If your signature is 7/8 (for example) this means that there are 7 beats per measure and the eighth note gets the beat.

In a given time signature and tempo, it would take the same amount of time to play two eighth notes as it would to play one quarter note.]]
