There would be 3 dotted crotchets or 9 quavers.
Salsa music has 4 beats per bar.
The top number in the time signature indicates how many beats per bar. In 6/8 time, for example, there are six beats per measure, and an eighth note is one beat.
2 4 time is when there are two crotchet beats in a bar 4 8 time is when there are four quaver beats in a bar
Well, the 8 means that there are, jeez it's hard to explain but you know how there are 4 beats in a bar? Well if there are 8 NOTES in a bar, but 4 BEATS in a bar, then that means that the 8 notes are all quavers. This means that the BEATS are all counted in QUAVERS [Taa-aas] . The 6 represents how many BEATS in a bar. This is quite unusual for a beginner because the 6 in this song means that there are 6 BEATS in a bar, not 4. Altogether, it means that there are 6 QUAVER beats in a bar. To make it easier for you, 4/4 timing: The first 4 means that there are 4 NOTES in a bar, which means that the song is counted in CROTCHETS [Taas]. The second 4 represents how many BEATS in a bar. Altogether, it means that there 4 CROTCHET beats in a bar.
A half note gets two beats, no matter what time signature you are in.

2/4 is an example of a time signature. The top number tells you how many beats are in the bar, in this example 2. The bottom of the time signature tells you what type of beats they are: in this case they are crotchet beats because of the 4. 2 on the bottom means minum beats, you can sometimes get 1 for semibreves and 8 is for measuring in quaver beats. These are the most common I think. If you have 8 on the bottom and the top number is a multiple of 3 I think you tend to count in dotted crotchet beats. You divide the top number by 3 to get the number of dotted crotchet beats per bar. I.e. 9/8 is 3 dotted crotchet beats per bar. I apologise for going off on a tangent there but hope that's useful too. So, 2/4 means 2 crotchet beats per bar. (It's simple duple time; duple because there are two beats in a bar and simple because they are crotchet beats. Dotted crotchet beats would make it compound).
