Three quarters, often written as 3/4, is a fraction that represents three parts out of a total of four equal parts. Imagine a pizza cut into four equal slices. If you take three of those slices, you have three quarters of the pizza. This fraction shows that you have more than half but less than the whole. In everyday life, you might encounter three quarters when measuring ingredients in cooking or baking. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, using three quarters means you would use 3/4 cup of sugar. This fraction helps us understand portions and share things fairly.
