6 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.
Sixteenth notes are these to the left. They are played 2x the speed that eighth notes are played.
If after means shorter length, then that would be a sixteenth note. Two sixteenth notes equal an eighth 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.
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.

8 notes are not equal to one beat in fact you can not even make one beat with eighth notes it actually takes four sixteenth notes to make one beat.
