Hi everyone!

I have a question about beaming notes in music and how to find the correct number of beats in a measure.  Does anyone know why 3/4 time has 3 beats, but 6/8 time has 2 beats?  For example, I am trying to understand why in 3/4 time we group eighth notes by 2's and in 6/8 time we group eighth notes by 3's.
