In 4/4 time there are eight 1/8 notes per measue (two per beat). Divide four by eight and one finds that there are 0.5 or 1/2 beats per 1/8 note. Hope this helps.
It's 1\2 of a beat. So basically half of a quarter note. A technique you can use is taking a small sniff. That will be at least half of a quarter note.

An eighth note, in common time (which is what most pieces are written in) gets a half a beat. This can be subdivided into 2 sixteenth notes, 4 thirty-second notes, 8 sixty-fouth notes... and so on.

you can put as many notes as you like in a 8th note. 2 8th notes=1 quarter note so, 4 8th notes=two quarter notes
