To determine how many eighth notes are required for one measure of music written in a 3/8 time signature, let's break down the components of the time signature:
1. Time Signature: 3/8
- The numerator (3) indicates that there are three beats per measure.
- The denominator (8) indicates that the eighth note is the unit of one beat.
Therefore, each measure in 3/8 time has three beats, with each beat being an eighth note.
Since we need to find out how many eighth notes are in one measure, we simply count the beats per measure:
- Each measure has exactly three eighth notes.
Thus, the number of eighth notes required for one measure of music written in 3/8 is:
- 3
Hence, the correct answer is:
E. 3
