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.
