It depends on which kind of rest it is. quarter rest: 1 beat half rest: 2 beats whole rest: 4 beats.

What looks like a hat is the rest that equals 2 beats.
It gets half of a beat. Two eighth notes equal one quarter note.
'One' Half Note = 2 Beats therefore, there are 2 half notes in 4 beats.

A half rest in music lasts for two beats in a musical score.
A corresponding rest to a minim note is the minim rest. It is also known as half note rest. The half note rest denotes silence for two beats.
It gets half of a beat. Two eighth notes equal one quarter note.
'One' Half Note = 2 Beats therefore, there are 2 half notes in 4 beats.
Each note or rest determines the amount of beats in for a note or rest. The time signature of a song consists of two numbers, the top number represents how many beats in a measure, and the bottom number represents how many beats a whole note gets. In 4/4 timing (4/4 being the time signature) a whole note/rest gets four beats and a measure consists of four beats. Therefore: Half note/rest- Two Beats Quarter note/rest- One beat Eighth note/rest- Half of a beat Sixteenth note/rest- Quarter of a beat and so on to 32nd, 64th, etc. Another coming time signature includes 2/2 (cut time) where a whole note/rest gets two beats and there are two beats in a measure. Therefore: Half note/rest- One Beat Quarter note/rest- Half of a beat Eighth note/rest- Quarter of a beat Etc. Other common time signatures include 3/4 (three beats to a measure), 2/4, and 6/8. Follow the same process in deriving the number of beats in a note or rest.
