At simple time signatures, a quarter note takes one beat. In compound time signatures, a dotted quarter note is equal to one beat. In cut time or alla breve time, a single beat is a half note.
Two eighth notesOne quarter note is one beat
A eighth note looks like a quarter note with a flag on it, to double it you would put a dot beside it.
No. A one beat note is called a crotchet and a two beat note is called a minim.
I believe the quarter note equals 42, but I'm not really sure.
It has one beat.

A quaver is worth half the beat of one beat of a bar.
The top number tells you how many beats are in the measure, the bottom number tells you what kind of note gets equals one beat. 4/4 means there are four beats in the measure and the 1/4 note equals one beat. a 12/8 signature means there are 12 beats in the measure and the 1/8th note gets the beat. THere are a good variety of time signatures, but they pretty much follow this rule.
Top number means how many beats in a measure and the bottom number means what note gets the beat. in 6/8 time there are 6 beats in a measure and the eighth note equals one beat.
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?
The Quarter Note
A minim. A 1 beat note is a crotchet, and a half-beat note is a quaver :)
In/On any instrument a quarter note gets one beat.
