Use the image to answer the question.
Two measures of rhythm are written in four-four time. Each measure consists of one note with a filled in note head and a straight note stem and three pairs of notes in which both notes have filled in note heads, straight note stems, and a beam connecting the note stems.

The correct answer is one quarter.
To determine how many beats a sixteenth note receives, we need to understand the concept of note values and the time signature of the music in question.
Note values represent the duration of a musical sound. In a time signature, the top number indicates the number of beats per measure, and the bottom number represents the note value that receives one beat.
In standard time signatures like 4/4 or 3/4, a quarter note usually receives one beat. So, to find out how many beats a sixteenth note receives, we can break it down step by step:
1. Start with the time signature: Let's assume we have a standard time signature of 4/4.
2. Determine the value of one beat: In 4/4, the quarter note receives one beat.
3. Divide the value of the quarter note: A sixteenth note is half the duration of a quarter note. Therefore, for every beat, there are four sixteenth notes (since there are four sixteenth notes in a quarter note).
So, the answer is: A sixteenth note receives one-fourth of a beat.
In short, a sixteenth note receives 1/4 (one-fourth) of a beat in a standard time signature like 4/4.
