One of the 3 pieces of Matza - usually the middle one is used for Yachatz - the 4th part of the Seder - where the middle Matza is broken into 2 uneven pieces. The larger piece is kept for the Afikomen-dessert and the smaller piece - symbolizing Matza as the bread of affliction is kept on the Seder plate. Every meal on a Shabbat and Jewish festival requires 2 whole loaves of bread to be used during HaMotzi - the blessing over bread. Since on Passover bread is substituted with Matza, so we need 2 whole Matzot on the Seder plate. So we need 3 Matzot on the Seder plate: 2 for the HaMotzi, and one to be broken.
The Passover Hagaddah (or Story) states that "Whoever does not say these three things has not fulfilled his obligation: Pesach, Matzah, Maror." Pesach is the pascal lamb offering that is no longer brought as the Temple in Jerusalem no longer stands. In the days of the Temple, thousands of lambs were slaughtered on the eve of Passover to be eaten that night along with the matzah and the maror, the bitter herb (traditionally, romaine lettuce or horseraddish). Today we eat only the matzah and maror.
The Seder meal has its basis in verses in Exodus ch.12. It is the occasion in which we eat the "matzos (unleavened hardtack) and bitter herbs" mentioned there, and fulfill "you shall recount to your son on that day...(what) God did for me when we left Egypt". All the foods, words and deeds of the Seder are to recount and symbolically relive the Exodus and the events preceding it.
Passover is one of the three pilgrimage holidays mentioned in the Torah (Bible). Observant Jews observe it for seven days in Israel, eight days outside of Israel. There are many customs associated with the holiday, primarily not eating bread or other leavened products, celebrating at the Seder with the reading of the Hagaddah, going to synagogue on the first and last days (first two and last two outside of Israel), and refraining from working on those days.

Three Easy Pieces was created in 2007.
Three pieces out of five equal parts.
it depends on how big the pieces are if the pieces are 2x2 there are three pieces
no because the fourths are bigger pieces and when you shade in three pieces it's almost full

The three is the numerator, representing how many pieces are in the fraction. For example, in 3/4, the four is how many pieces are in total for the whole, the three represents how many pieces are gone, or shaded, or there.
Yes. It is like cutting a pie into four pieces. Three out of four pieces is more than one of those pieces.
Each of the seis items arranged on the plate h the retelling of the story of the exodus from Egypt, which is the focus of this ritual meal. The seventh symbolic item used during the meal - a stack of three matzos - is placed on its own plate on the Seder table. Others place the seder plate on top of the stack of matzos.... To regular people, it is just a plate, but to my mensches, it is a symbol
