Seven Quarters of Tart

When you cut tarts into four equal slices, four slices make one whole tart. Seven slices make one whole tart and three more quarters, so 7/4 is more than 1 but less than 2.

In the picture

  1. One whole tart: four quarters, 4/4 = 1
  2. Three more slices: three quarters, 3/4
  3. The missing slice: one quarter short of a second whole tart

Examples

  • Seven quarter-hours make one hour and three quarters of an hour.
  • Seven quarter pizzas fill one whole pizza box and three quarters of another.
