"Half a Bride Half a Bride is a 1928 American silent romance film directed by Gregory La Cava and starring Esther Ralston, Gary Cooper, and William Worthington. Based on the short story ""White Hands"" by Arthur Stringer, and written by Doris Anderson, Percy Heath, and Julian Johnson, the film is about an impulsive thrill-seeking heiress who announces to her father that she entered into a ""companionate marriage"" with one of her party friends. After her father abducts her aboard his private yacht and sails away, she escapes in a small boat and after a storm ends up on a desert"
"One half One half is the irreducible fraction resulting from dividing one by two or the fraction resulting from dividing any number by its double. Multiplication by one half is equivalent to division by two, or ""halving""; conversely, division by one half is equivalent to multiplication by two, or ""doubling"". One half appears often in mathematical equations, recipes, measurements, etc. Half can also be said to be one part of something divided into two equal parts. For instance, the area ""S"" of a triangle is computed One half also figures in the formula for calculating figurate numbers, such as triangular"

"Quarter (United States coin) The quarter, short for quarter dollar, is a United States coin worth 25 cents, one-fourth of a dollar. It has a diameter of .955 inches (24.26 mm) and a thickness of .069 inches (1.75 mm). The coin sports the profile of George Washington on its obverse, and its reverse design has changed frequently. It has been produced on and off since 1796 and consistently since 1831. The choice of as a denomination—as opposed to the more common elsewhere—originated with the practice of dividing Spanish milled dollars into eight wedge-shaped segments. ""Two bits"" (that is, two ""pieces"

In 3/4, the space is often left out: ""driekwart"". When combined with a full cardinal, the full cardinal comes first and they are separated by ""en"" and spaces. The word ""en"" can be left out if the numerator is not 1. The combination 1 1/2 is usually expressed irregularly as ""anderhalf"", which literally means ""other half"" (""ander"" was originally a synonym of ""tweede"", and this combination meant ""second, minus a half""). These express repetition, like"
"Quarter (Canadian coin) The quarter, short for quarter dollar, is a Canadian coin worth 25 cents or one-fourth of a Canadian dollar. It is a small, circular coin of silver colour. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the official name for the coin is the 25-cent piece, but in practice it is usually called a ""quarter"", much like its American counterpart. The coin is produced at the Royal Canadian Mint's facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. From 1920 until 1967 the quarter contained 0.15 troy ounces of silver—one quarter as much as the silver dollar (0.60 ozt), one half as much as"
"Quart The quart (abbreviation qt.) is an English unit of volume equal to a quarter gallon. It is divided into two pints or four cups. Historically, the exact size of the quart has varied with the different values of gallons over time and in reference to different commodities. Presently, three kinds of quarts remain in use: the and of the US customary system and the of the British imperial system. All are roughly equal to one metric litre. The term comes from the Latin ""quartus"" (meaning one-quarter) via the French ""quart"". However, although the French word """" has the same"
"Quarter note A quarter note (American) or crotchet (British) is a note played for one quarter of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve). Often, musicians will say that a crotchet is one beat, but this is not always correct, as the beat is indicated by the time signature of the music; a quarter note may or may not be the beat. Quarter notes are notated with a filled-in oval note head and a straight, flagless stem. The stem usually points upwards if it is below the middle line of the stave or downwards if it is on or"
"Fraction (mathematics) A fraction (from Latin """", ""broken"") represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters. A ""common"", ""vulgar"", or ""simple"" fraction (examples: formula_1 and 17/3) consists of an integer numerator displayed above a line (or before a slash), and a non-zero integer denominator, displayed below (or after) that line. Numerators and denominators are also used in fractions that are not ""common"", including compound fractions, complex fractions, and mixed numerals. We begin"
"Quarter (unit) The quarter ( ""one-fourth"") is used as the name of several distinct English units based on ¼ sizes of some base unit. The ""quarter of London"" mentioned by the Magna Carta as the national standard measure for wine, ale, and grain was ¼ ton or tun. It continued to be used, e.g., to regulate the prices of bread. This quarter was a unit of 8 bushels of 8 gallons each, understood at the time as a measure of both weight and volume: the grain gallon or half-peck was composed of 76,800 (Tower) grains weight; the ale gallon was"
"US Mint began selling (at a premium) uncirculated 40-coin rolls and 100-coin bags of quarters with the San Francisco mint mark.

"a quarter is one twelfth, two thirds of a quarter is two twelfth. The second fraction, three quarters, is three times as large as one quarter, so two thirds of three quarters is three times as large as two thirds of one quarter. Thus two thirds times three quarters is six twelfths. A short cut for multiplying fractions is called ""cancellation"". Effectively the answer is reduced to lowest terms during multiplication. For example: A two is a common factor in both the numerator of the left fraction and the denominator of the right and is divided out of both. Three"
"Half dollar (United States coin) The half dollar, sometimes referred to as the half for short, is a United States coin worth 50 cents, one-half of a dollar, and is the largest United States circulating coin currently produced in both size and weight, being 1.205 inches (30.61 mm) in diameter and .085 inches (2.15 mm) in thickness, and is twice the weight of the quarter. The current half dollar, the Kennedy half dollar, depicts the profile of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse and the Seal of the President of the United States on the reverse, but the design"

The total composition of the coin is 8.33% nickel, with the remainder copper. It weighs 0.2000 avoirdupois oz, 1/80th of a pound, 0.1823 troy oz, (5.670 grams). The diameter is 0.955 inches (24.26 mm), and the width of 0.069 inches (1.75 mm). The coin has a 0.069-inch (1.75-mm) reeded (or milled) edge. Owing to the introduction of the clad quarter in 1965, it was occasionally called a ""Johnson Sandwich"" after Lyndon"
"Half note In music, a half note (American) or minim (British) is a note played for half the duration of a whole note (or semibreve) and twice the duration of a quarter note (or crotchet). It was given its Latin name (""minima"", meaning ""least or smallest"") because it was the shortest of the five note values used in early medieval music notation . In time signatures with 4 as the bottom number, such as or , the half note is two beats long. However, when 2 is the bottom number (including ""alla breve"", ), the half note is one beat"
"is a common factor of the left denominator and right numerator and is divided out of both. Since a whole number can be rewritten as itself divided by 1, normal fraction multiplication rules can still apply. When multiplying mixed numbers, it is considered preferable to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. For example: In other words, formula_17 is the same as formula_112, making 11 quarters in total (because 2 cakes, each split into quarters makes 8 quarters total) and 33 quarters is formula_113, since 8 cakes, each made of quarters, is 32 quarters in total.

"Quotient In arithmetic, a quotient (from ""how many times"", pronounced ) is the quantity produced by the division of two numbers. The quotient has widespread use throughout mathematics, and is commonly referred to as a fraction or a ratio. For example, when dividing twenty (the ""dividend"") by three (the ""divisor""), the ""quotient"" is six and two thirds. In this sense, a quotient is the ratio of a dividend to its divisor. The quotient is most frequently encountered as two numbers, or two variables, divided by a horizontal line. The words ""dividend"" and ""divisor"" refer to each individual part, while the"
"quarter (qr. av. or quartier) came to mean ¼ of a hundredweight: 2 stone or 28 avoirdupois pounds (about 12.7 kg). In measures of dry volume, it was equivalent to the seam or 8 bushels of 8 grain gallons of 272 cubic inches. In measures of liquid volume at the time of the Magna Carta, the quarter of wine was (originally) ¼ tun: 8 London bushels or 64 wine gallons. The tun was subsequently defined down 4 gallons to 252 and the quarter was effectively ¼ pipe or butt. The quarter of wine was a gallon larger than a hogshead."

When the denominator is 1, it may be expressed in terms of ""wholes"" but is more commonly ignored, with the numerator read out as a whole number. (For example, may be described as ""three wholes"" or as simply ""three"".) When the numerator is one, it may be omitted. (For example, ""a tenth"" or ""each quarter"".)

"a fraction, the number of equal parts being described is the numerator (from Latin ', ""counter"" or ""numberer""), and the type or variety of the parts is the denominator (from Latin ', ""thing that names or designates""). As an example, the fraction amounts to eight parts, each of which is of the type named ""fifth."" In terms of division, the numerator corresponds to the dividend, and the denominator corresponds to the divisor. Informally, the numerator and denominator may be distinguished by placement alone but in formal contexts they are always separated by a fraction bar. The fraction bar may be"
"Split-biquaternion In mathematics, a split-biquaternion is a hypercomplex number of the form where ""w"", ""x"", ""y"", and ""z"" are split-complex numbers and i, j, and k multiply as in the quaternion group. Since each coefficient ""w"", ""x"", ""y"", ""z"" spans two real dimensions, the split-biquaternion is an element of an eight-dimensional vector space. Considering that it carries a multiplication, this vector space is an algebra over the real field, or an algebra over a ring where the split-complex numbers form the ring. This algebra was introduced by William Kingdon Clifford in an 1873 article for the London Mathematical Society. It"

Three digits (…:345:…) are possible, the first one being a quarter and both others each an eighth, but might be confusing. Some musicians put a comma or dot inside the beat (…:3,45:…) to remind the singers of the unequal duration. But the real use is with a tie (…:3-4:…), to have a 3/8 note followed by a 1/8. 2/2 and"

In colloquial language, this can cause confusion between English and German, Dutch or Swedish diction: in conversational English as spoken in the UK, ""half past eight"" (for 8:30) is often reduced to ""half eight"", while in German , in Dutch and in Swedish invariably means 7:30. For the quarters, in German different dialects use or (literally ""quarter past seven"" or ""quarter eight""), and or (literally ""quarter to eight"""
"Washington quarter The Washington quarter is the present quarter dollar or 25-cent piece issued by the United States Mint. The coin was first struck in 1932; the original version was designed by sculptor John Flanagan. As the United States prepared to celebrate the 1932 bicentennial of the birth of its first president, George Washington, members of the bicentennial committee established by Congress sought a Washington half dollar. They wanted to displace for that year only the regular issue Walking Liberty half dollar; instead Congress permanently replaced the Standing Liberty quarter, requiring that a depiction of Washington appear on the obverse"
"As 231 cubic inches were considered to make up a wine gallon, the measure was about 242¼ L. The ale gallon was 282 cubic inches, meaning the quarter of ale was about 295¾ L.

"Quotition and partition In arithmetic, quotition and partition are two ways of viewing fractions and division. In quotition division one asks how many parts there are; in partition division one asks what the size of each part is. For example, the expression can be construed in either of two ways: It is a fact of elementary theoretical mathematics that the numerical answer is always the same either way: 6 ÷ 2 = 3. This is essentially equivalent to the commutativity of multiplication. Division involves thinking about a whole in terms of its parts. One frequent division notion, a natural number"
"Eighth note An eighth note (American) or a quaver (British) is a musical note played for half the value of a quarter note (crotchet) and twice that of the sixteenth note (semiquaver), which amounts to one quarter the duration of a half note (minim), one eighth the duration of whole note (semibreve), one sixteenth the duration of a double whole note (breve), and one thirty-second the duration of a longa, hence the name. It is the equivalent of the ""fusa"" in mensural notation Eighth notes are notated with an oval, filled-in note head and a straight note stem with one"
