You most likely meant to ask: "What does son las cuatro menos cuarto mean?" which would translate to "It is 3:45."
What you actually asked would translate to "It is a quarter minus a quarter."

"Son las once menos quince" or "son las once menos cuarto" (it is quarter to 11). You could also say "son las dies y cuartena y cinco" (which means it is 10:45). You could also add "de la mañana" (in the morning), "de la tarde" (in the afternoon), or "de la noche" (at night) to the end to make it more correct.
las cinco menos cuarto.... (quarter to five) las cuatro y cuarenta y cinco.... (four forty five) in both cases: '....de la tarde' (p.m.)
its for time menos = minus quarto = 4 So put it together minus 4. Normally its used for time because you can't go over 30 minutes. so if its over 30 you say menos number away from 60. so 56 is menos cuarto dont forget though if its 5:46 its seis menos cuarto not cinco menos cuarto.
