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.
It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be:
Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure)
Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure)
Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure)
Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure)
Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure)
And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.
The time values of notes and notes and corresponding rests are the same. Both the quarter note and the quarter rest worth one beat each. Two quarter rests (as well as two quarter notes) are equivalent to a half rest (half note) in duration.
there are whole notes, half notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and quarter notes. there are also whole rests, half rests, eighth rests, quarter rests etc. to find out how they look like, go on google images. to find more info, go on google, ask, yahoo, or msn.
In common time: Whole notes and rests = 4 beats Dotted half notes and rests = 3 beats Half notes and rests = 2 beats Dotted quarter notes and rests = 1 1/2 beats Quarter notes and rests = 1 beat Eighth notes and rests = 1/2 beat Sixteenth notes and rests = 1/4 beat Values change as the bottom number of the time signature changes
Notes and rests always carry the same value no matter what the time signature. A quarter note or rest is always held for one beat, but depending on how you're counting the time, it may be more than one count (ex. if your beat is in eighth notes, a quarter note is gonna be two counts- "one and, two and, three and..." but if your beat is in quarter notes, it's just gonna be one count- "one, two, three...")

These are both music terms. Notes are when a sound is made and rests are when now sound is made.

You do not convert rests into notes. Rests serve a purpose in music. A piece of music can get quieter and quieter and then silent. Suddenly BOOM. Listen to good music. Rests let a good composer do things otherwise impossible.
Notes and values are found in music, and in written musical scores. Notes are the melodic notes of a particular pitch, and values are their duration, e.g. crotchet - quarter note, minim - half note, etc.
Rests and notes make up all that music is. The notes are the circular looking marks and most have staffs or lines on them which resemble lower case letter "b's" and "d's". Rests are small hash marks or bars in between notes in which no music is played. This allows the piece to flow and harmonize with the other instruments.
whole note two half notes four quarter notes eight single eight notes sixteenth notes whole rest half rest quarter rest and so on
There are two 8th notes in a quarter note. There are two quarter notes in a half note and two half notes in a whole note.
Just that space ! It is indicated on paper by using RESTS.
