Question

In 4/4 time an eighth note equals ____________ beat.

Answer 1

it would be 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

think of it. an eight is 1/8. So an eight note would equal 1/2 half since the time signature is 4/4

Answer 2

Think of the denominator of 4 as the quarter. You can have 4 quarter notes in one measure, which is why it is a 4 on the bottom. In 6/8 time, there are 6 beats per measure and the EIGHTH note gets one beat.
