Well, the eighth note gets the beat. 5 eighth notes per measure would be counted as "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" Ten sixteenth notes in a measure would count as "1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 &"
One quarter note would equal 2 beats, so you could fit 2 quarter notes and an eighth note in a measure. Anyway, I hope that at least helps some.
