Yes, and the bottom number tells us what kind of note gets one beat.
A time signature tells you how many beats are in a measure, the top number tells you how many beats are in a measure, and the bottom number tells you what type of note gets 1 beat. For example: 3/4, 3 beats in a measure and a quarter note gets one beat.
Yes! It tells you the rhythm in each bar of notes. The number on bottom tells you the beat of the note(quarter note, whole note etc.) The number on top tells you how many of the beats are in a bar.
when you have 2 at the bottom of the time signiture this means the piece is in minim beats. the top number tells you how many beats there are in the bar. to therefore in each bar there would be 3 minim beats in every bar.
A bar. Music is written with x number of beats in a bar
4 crotchet beats are in a breve

The bottom number tells you the value of the beat. The top number tells you the number of "beats to the bar". In 3 - 4 time there are 3 crotchet (quarter note) beats to the bar. When the bottom number is 4 the beat is a quarter note, a crotchet. When the bottom number is 2 the beat is a half note, a minim.

2/4 is an example of a time signature. The top number tells you how many beats are in the bar, in this example 2. The bottom of the time signature tells you what type of beats they are: in this case they are crotchet beats because of the 4. 2 on the bottom means minum beats, you can sometimes get 1 for semibreves and 8 is for measuring in quaver beats. These are the most common I think. If you have 8 on the bottom and the top number is a multiple of 3 I think you tend to count in dotted crotchet beats. You divide the top number by 3 to get the number of dotted crotchet beats per bar. I.e. 9/8 is 3 dotted crotchet beats per bar. I apologise for going off on a tangent there but hope that's useful too. So, 2/4 means 2 crotchet beats per bar. (It's simple duple time; duple because there are two beats in a bar and simple because they are crotchet beats. Dotted crotchet beats would make it compound).
four beats in a bar
4 crotchet beats are in a breve
a march has 2 beats in a bar
There are ususally 3 beats a bar in a waltz. :)
"44" is the time signature in music. A time signature is a sign at the beginning of a piece of music telling you the meter. The top number tells you how many beats are in a measure, and the bottom tells you what note equals one beat.
Salsa music has 4 beats per bar.
