Well the 8 in 6/8 means that an 8th note gets 1 COUNT so it can be confusing if you have only played in 4/4 time. To figure out the notes all you do is do the math if an eight note gets 1 count that must mean a quarter note gets 2 counts.

How many beets does a half rest get?

This depends on what the time signature is. The time signature is the fraction looking numbers at the beginning of the piece. The top number represents how many beats there are in a measure. The bottom number tells you what kind of note gets one beat. The time signature 4/4 would be interpreted like this. The top 4 suggests there are 4 beats in every measure. The bottom 4 stands for a quarter note that gets one beat. If the time signature is 4/4, a half rest would get 2 beats, just like the half note. However, if the time signature is 2/2, then a half rest would get one beat as there are only two beats per measure and the bottom 2 represents a half note getting one beat. If the time signature were 6/8, where there are 6 beats in every measure, and the eighth note gets one beat, a half note would get 4 beats as there are 2 eighth notes in a quarter, and two quarter notes in a half note. 4 eighth notes in a half note.
