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.

How many eigth notes equal one dotted quarter note?

Oh, this can be so tricky, depending on the meter of the piece in question and how complex the passage is. The quick and dirty answer is that a dotted eighth has the value of three sixteenth notes. You can see that two eighth notes would be equal to 4 sixteenth notes, right? If you pair a dotted eighth note with a sixteenth note (you will see this very often: the two notes are connected with one flag/bar, the dot comes with the first note, and there is an added flag/bar segment to the second note that is short; it doesn't extend back to the first note) then the dotted eighth takes the place of the first 3 sixteenth notes in a group of four sixteenths.
