A whole note is equal to 4 beats in common time (4/4). An eighth note is worth 1/2 of a beat. To find out how many eighth notes equal the value of one whole note, you can divide the total beats of the whole note (4 beats) by the value of an eighth note (1/2 beat):
\[
\frac{4 \text{ beats}}{\frac{1}{2} \text{ beat per eighth note}} = 4 \times 2 = 8
\]
So, 8 eighth notes equal the value of one whole note.
\[
\frac{4 \text{ beats}}{\frac{1}{2} \text{ beat per eighth note}} = 4 \times 2 = 8
\]
So, 8 eighth notes equal the value of one whole note.
