An eighth note gets half a beat
An eighth note is worth half a beat.
Strangely enough, an eighth note is one eighth of a whole note.
An eighth note is one HALF of ONE BEAT ( or quarter note)
Two eighth notesOne quarter note is one beat
If we are in "common time" (as most pieces are) and, therefore, the time signature is 4/4, 2/4, 3/4 or something similar... then an eighth note is a half a beat and a sixteenth note is a quarter of a beat... so, the two of them together are three quarters of a beat in duration ( 3/4 beat ). This could also be represented by a dotted eighth note.

Those two notes equal a dotted eighth note. In terms of beats, (assuming common time) then the eighth note gets a half a beat and the sixteenth note gets a quarter of a beat, so the two of them together get 3/4 of a beat.
An eighth note is one HALF of ONE BEAT ( or quarter note)
An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
Two eighth notesOne quarter note is one beat
an eighth note or a quavier is worth 1/2 a beat in the bar so the decimal is 0.5
An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.

Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?
An eighth note takes up 1/8th of a measure. The length of the measure is determined by the length of the time signature. For instance, in common (or 4/4 time) there are 4 beats in a measure. A whole note takes 4 beats, a half note takes 2, a quarter note takes 1 beat and an eighth note gets 1/2 a beat.
In common time (4/4), there are 12 eighth note triplets in a measure, equating to three per beat.
