Homonym: Three Quarters (Fraction)
"Three Quarters" refers to a fraction that represents three out of four equal parts of a whole. In simpler terms, if you imagine a pizza cut into four equal slices, three quarters means you have three of those slices. This fraction is often written as ¾ and is commonly used in everyday situations, like cooking or measuring.
In addition to its mathematical meaning, "Three Quarters" can also describe time. For example, if a clock shows 9:45, it is said to be a quarter to 10, which is another way of expressing that three quarters of an hour have passed since 9:00. Understanding this concept helps in grasping both fractions and time management in daily life.
