The note that is a quarter of a measure long varies between time signatures. In the most common time signature, 4/4, the quarter note is a quarter of the measure. In 2/8 time, the eighth note is a quarter of the measure.

A whole note last as long as how much quarter notes?
That's a fair question if you're unfamiliar with music notation. But it's a simple asnwer: Quarter notes are just that - quarters. So a whole note is equal to four quarter notes. Keep in mind that the meter - or time signature - in the music determines the number of beats per measure, and which note is equal to one beat, so one whole note is not necessarily equal to one whole measure. In 4/4 time, it is, since that indicates that there are four beats per measure, and a quarter note equals one beat. There is also one whole note per measure in 2/2 time, as there are two beats per measure, and a half note gets one beat. However, if the time signature is 4/2, there would be two whole notes per measure, since there are four beats per measure, and a half note gets one beat. The top number indicates the number of beats per measure, and the bottom number indicates which note equals one beat: 1=whole note, 2=half note, 4=quarter note, etc. The time signature combined with the tempo (beats per minute) tells the musician how fast to play the notes.
