Two sixteenth notes take up the same amount of time/space as one eighth note.
6 sixteenth notes
Four sixteenth notes can be played in the same duration as two eighth notes. This is because each eighth note is equivalent to two sixteenth notes, so when combining two eighth notes, you effectively have four sixteenth notes. Both groupings fill the same rhythmic space within a measure.
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.
A quarter note is equal to two eighth notes, while a sixteenth note is equal to half an eighth note. When you add a quarter note (2 eighths) to a sixteenth note (0.5 eighths), the total is 2.5 eighth notes, which is equivalent to two eighth notes and one sixteenth note. In terms of note values, this can be expressed as a quarter note tied to a sixteenth note.

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.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some music theory! So, like, in a dotted eighth note, you've got three sixteenth notes, right? And each sixteenth note can be divided into two thirty-second notes. So, like, math-wise, that's six thirty-second notes in a dotted eighth note. Bam!
