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.
If after means shorter length, then that would be a sixteenth note. Two sixteenth notes equal an eighth note.
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter 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.
Sixteenth note
A sixteenth note gets half the value of an eight note. Ex. If an eighth note got one count, a sixteenth note would get one half count.

A dotted eighth note is equal in duration to three sixteenth notes.
A sixteenth note is half the duration of an eighth note, so there are two 1/16th note in one 1/8th 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.
three because two eighth notes equal one quarter note
2 sixteenth note
6 sixteenth notes
