Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter note.
I think the answer you're looking for is the whole note. The whole note (generally speaking although there are some exceptions) is worth 4 beats. The order of notes is: Whole note - 4 beats Half note- 2 beats Quarter note - 1 beat Eighth note - 1/2 a beat Sixteenth note - 1/4 of a beat 32nd note - 1/8 beat... and the list goes on.
A "rest". The duration of the rest can be: * a whole note * a half note * a quarter note * an eighth note * a sixteenth note And in any time signature variation.
A sixteenth note last for a quarter of a beat.

A quaver with one tail is an eighth beat, that is, an eighth of a whole note (semibreve), or half a standard beat (crotchet).A quaver with two tails is not a quaver at all, but a semiquaver, and is a sixteenth of a whole note.== ==

1/4 beat
A sixteenth note last for a quarter of a beat.
There are many kinds of notes and rests, each with a different amount of time. A quarter note generally denotes one beat, a half note two beats, a whole note four beats. An eighth note is half a beat, a sixteenth note is one-fourth of a beat. A dot at the end of a note adds one beat to the note (i.e. a dotted half note is three beats). This whole explanation is assuming you are in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, etc. time.
A semiquaver or a sixteenth note takes 1/4 beats according to the common convention that a quarter note takes one beat.
