Answer: 8
Explanation:
A semibreve (otherwise known as the "whole note" in America) is worth 2 Minims.
A Minim is worth 2 Crotchets.
A Crotchet is worth 2 Quavers.
Therefore, a semibreve is the equivalent length of time as 8 Quavers OR 4 Crotchets OR 2 Minims.

Semibreve = Whole note
Minim = Half note
Crotchet = Quarter note
Quaver = Eighth note.
