Three.
Let's break it down...the 6 means how many beats are in each measure and the 8 means that each beat is the equivalent of an eighth note. If there are six beats in a measure and each beat is an eighth note, each quarter note accounts for two of those beats, making your answer three beats.
Hope this helps!

Conductors normally conduct this in cut time or 2 rather than 6/8 so a quarter note or crotchet is generally played as a quaver or eighth note
Although I am not positive...
