Best Answer

A whole note is 4 [beats].

So:


half note = 2


quarter note = 1


eighth note = 1/2


sixteenth note = 1/4


This means that 4 16th notes = 1 beat, 2 8th notes = 1 beat...


If you think this is confusing, in England they have different names for note lengths like:


Hemidemisemiquaver...which I believe means 16th note...

A whole note has four beats. An eighth note has one half of a beat. If they are combined, you have four and a half beats. Those are only two notes.

Think of eighth notes in music as 4 beats divided by 8=1/2 beats

And whole notes as 4 beats

So 4 divided by 1/2 a beat would be 8
