In 3/4 time (whether you are playing a piano or a kazoo), there are 3 beats to the measure and a quarter note gets one beat. There are four sixteenth notes to a quarter note so the sixteenth note gets 1/4 of a beat or, another way to look at it is it takes 4 sixteenths to make a beat.
The clue is in the name of the note. The sixteenth (or semiquaver) is one-sixteenth of a whole note (or semibreve). Look at the time signature of your piece of music: a semiquaver rest will occupy exactly the same number of beats as a semiquaver note. For example, if your piece is in 4/4 time, it will occupy a quarter of a beat.
If it is 4/4 time, then it gets 1/4 of that quarter note. So meaning there would be 16 sixteenth notes in a measure if you filled the bar with sixteenth notes.
2 sixteenth note
A semiquaver or a sixteenth note takes 1/4 beats according to the common convention that a quarter note takes one beat.
I think it's 28 -- there are four sixteenth notes in one quarter note times seven beats in the measure. However, I've never heard of a time signature with seven beats, so it's probably not very relevant. Also, this answer assumes each beat is a quarter note (not, say, a dotted quarter or an eight).
A sixteenth note receives 1/4 of a beat. It is referred to as a "sixteenth note" because it takes sixteen of them to create 4 beats. Most songs contain 4 beat measures known as "common time."

Twelve. Remember that the dot always adds one half of the original note to the total - so a dotted half note is three beats in length. (Cut a half note in half and you get a quarter, so a dotted half note is two beats for the half note and one beat for the quarter you added to it) So now you can take those three beats (Three quarter notes) and cut them in half, which is six eighth notes, and then cut that in half and get twelve sixteenth notes. Phew. I hope that made sense.
A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, an eighth note is worth 1/2 a beat, a sixteenth note is worth 1/4 of a beat, a dotted half note is worth 3 beats, and a dotted quarter note is worth 1 and a 1/2 beats.
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.
three because two eighth notes equal one quarter note
Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?
It's a very slow 4/4 with a sixteenth note shuffle. In the chorus, the words day, song, know, and smile come on beat one.
