In 4/4 time, the top number indicates how many beats there are in a bar, while the bottom number indicates the note value which represents one beat.
Here, the top tells us that there are 4 beats in a bar, while the bottom tells us that one beat is equivalent to one quarter note.
That would make the answer four quarter notes maximum in one bar of music in 4/4 time.

What is the word for the numbers at the beginning which tell you how many beats are in each bar?
The top number represents the number of beats in a bar in the piece. The bottom number represents the kind of note gets one beat. If the bottom number is 4, it is a quarter note. If it is an 8, it is an eighth note. just put one over the number and that is it. 4 for the top note and 4 for the bottom means that there are four quarter notes in a measure. 12 on the top and 8 on the bottom means there are 12 eighth notes in the bar.

What is the full meaning of 4 over 4 as a time signature?
4 4 is a full time signiture i think it means 4 quavers in a bar (thats what my music teacher said) Add : The first number in a time signature is the number of notes (or beats) in a bar (or measure). The second figure tells you the length of the notes - 1 is a whole note, 2 is a half note, 4 is a quarter note etc. So 4/4 is 4 beats to the bar where each beat is a quarter note (quaver) long.

How do you know where to put bar lines in a piece of music?
it depends on what time signature you are working with. 4/4, which is the most common time signature, means there are 4 beats per measure and a quarter note = 1 beat. so a bar line would go after any combination of notes that equals 4 beats (4 quarter notes, 2 half notes, 1 whole note, 1 half note and 2 quarts notes...etc.) as long as you know how many beats there are per measure, then you can determine where to put the bar lines.
What is the full meaning of 2 over 4 as a time signature?
A time signature in two-four indicates that there are two beats per measure and that a quarter note is considered one beat. A two-four measure can consist of one half note, two quarter notes, 4 eighth notes, 8 sixteenth notes, and so on. A quarter note is also called a crotchet in some places. The song "Keep right on to the end of the road" is an example of 2/4 time.
