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?
Well, honey, a half note is worth two beats, and a sixteenth note is worth a quarter of a beat, so you do the math - there are 8 sixteenth notes in a half note. But hey, who's counting? Oh right, we are.
A sixteenth note gets half the value of an eight note. Ex. If an eighth note got one count, a sixteenth note would get one half count.
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.
There are many kinds of notes and rests, each with a different amount of time. A quarter note generally denotes one beat, a half note two beats, a whole note four beats. An eighth note is half a beat, a sixteenth note is one-fourth of a beat. A dot at the end of a note adds one beat to the note (i.e. a dotted half note is three beats). This whole explanation is assuming you are in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, etc. time.
A semiquaver or a sixteenth note takes 1/4 beats according to the common convention that a quarter note takes one beat.
In 2/2 time, also known as cut time, there are two beats per measure, and each beat is a half note. A sixteenth note is one-fourth the duration of a quarter note and one-eighth the duration of a half note. Therefore, in 2/2 time, a sixteenth note is worth one-eighth of a beat. This means that it takes four sixteenth notes to equal one beat in this time signature.

A quaver with one tail is an eighth beat, that is, an eighth of a whole note (semibreve), or half a standard beat (crotchet).A quaver with two tails is not a quaver at all, but a semiquaver, and is a sixteenth of a whole note.== ==
There are 16 sixteenth notes in a whole note! Just as there are two half notes, one fourth note, etc., there are 16 sixteenth notes.
There is one 1/4 of a beat in a sixteenth note, if a quarter note gets one beat. This is not true for all signatures. The value of the beats doubles or halves. Whole note = 4 beats (half of 4 is 2) half note = 2 beats (half of 2 is 1) quarter note = 1 beat ( half of 1 is 1/2) 8th note = 1/2 beat ( half of 1/2 is 1/4) 16th note = 1/4 beat ( half of 1/4 is 1/8) 32nd note = 1/8
A sixteenth note is half the duration of an eighth note, so there are two 1/16th note in one 1/8th note.
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.
a 4 sixteenth note is a really fast note, songs like through fire and flames has a four sixteenth note, for a better view just search that song on youtube, it makes up one beat.
