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.

That would depend on the time signature. The top number is how many beats per measure. In other words, 4/4 time would be 4 beats; 3/4 time would be 3 beats; 12/8 would be 12 beats, etc.
