Two sixteenth rests equal one eighth rest
There are two 8th notes in a quarter note. There are two quarter notes in a half note and two half notes in a whole note.
an eighth note is half of one beat in four four time. if you have one eighth rest it would be half of a whole rest. so you would need two eighth rests to make a whole rest
semi quaver 0.25 beat(like a 7 with an extra line under the top stroke), quaver 0.5 beat (like a 7), crochet 1 beat (like a reverse z with a loop down the bottom), minim 2 beats(a little half box sitting on the 3rd line), semibreve 4 beats (a half box hanging from the 4th line)

It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be: Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure) Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure) Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure) Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure) Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure) And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.
The difference between a quarter and an eighth in terms of fractions is that a quarter is equal to 1/4, while an eighth is equal to 1/8. This means that a quarter is larger than an eighth because 1/4 is greater than 1/8.
