Best Answer

the top number tells how many beats per measure. the bottom number tells what each black note with no flags on its stem there are per measure.

For instance, 4/4 is 4 1/4 notes or beats per measure

6/8 is 6 1/8th notes or beats per measure

5/4 is 5 1/4 notes or beats per measure

If you were tapping your foot to the music, you would be tapping one time for each beat.
