Best Answer

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.

Its math in spanish =D
