To determine how many beats are in an eighth rest, you need to understand the concept of musical notation and time signatures.
In music, a rest is a symbol that represents a silent or paused period, where no sound is produced. The duration of a rest is indicated by its shape and placement on the musical staff.
The note you described — a forward slash character with a fat dot attached to the top at the left by a small tail — is an eighth rest.
In a simple time signature, such as 4/4, the top number represents the number of beats in each measure, while the bottom number indicates the type of beat that receives one count.
In this case, the eighth rest is one of the note values. The value of an eighth note is determined by dividing the whole note into eight equal parts. Since a whole note typically receives four beats in 4/4 time, an eighth note would receive 1/8 of that value, or half a beat.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 1/2. An eighth rest represents half a beat of silence in music.
