Time Quarter Past, Quarter to and Half Hour
Let’s get to know the various ways to tell time to quarter hours
In 5 minute augmentations, when it's past the hour (up to 30 minutes past) we say "past".
When it's before the hour (after 30 minutes past) we state "to".
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
30 minutes is half an hour (exactly half of an hour/half of 60 minutes), we say "thirty" or "half past".
Fifteen minutes is quarter of an hour, we say "quarter past" or "quarter to" or "fifteen" or "forty-five".
09:00- it’s nine o'clock in the morning.
15:00- it’s three o'clock in the afternoon.
15 minutes past the hour is said to be quarter past:
06:15- it’s quarter past seven in the morning (6:15 is 6:15 AM in the morning)
13:15- It's quarter past two in the afternoon. (13:15 is 1:15PM in the afternoon)
Time Measurement to Tell Time to Quarter Hours
Time measurement for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes can be depicted in the following manner. They are:
Quarter to - This implies that there are 15 minutes remaining to complete a given hour. For example, 06:45 means there are 15 minutes still remaining to reach 7:00. This is also read as "quarter to seven".
Quarter Past - This implies that 15 minutes have passed after the hour has begun. For example, 09:15 means 15 minutes have passed after 9:00. This is read as "quarter past nine".
Half-Past - This implies that 30 minutes have passed after the hour has begun. For example, 06:30 means 30 minutes have passed after 6:00. This is also read as "half-past six".
Solved Examples
Let’s practice some quarter hour problem in maths that you will find in your tell time quarter past and quarter to worksheets.
Example:
Calculate the measurement of time between 1:00 to 5:00.
Solution:
The distance between two vertical lines depicts 1 hour. Thus, there are 4 hours between 1:00 and 5:00.
Therefore, the time between 1:00 and 4:00 is 4 hours.
Example:
Alex's and Amaira anniversary falls on June 9. Their friend's anniversary falls on September 17. Find out the number of weeks and days between the two dates.
Solution:
The month of June consists of 30 days. The number of days after Alex's and Amaira anniversary (June 9) is 30 - 9 = 21.
The Months of July and August have 31 days each. Beginning from 1st to 17th, we have 17 days in the month of September. So, there are (21 +31+31+17) days which equals 100 days.
In order to find the number of weeks, divide the number of days by 7 and express the outcome as a mixed fraction. 100/7 is 14 2/7 weeks.
∴ There are 102 days between Alex's-Amaira’s and their friend's anniversary.

FAQs on Tell and Set Time to Quarter Hours
1. What is Time?
Answer: Time is a universal theory that has been prevalent since forever and that we use in our everyday life a lot. Time is something we need to keep a check on when we study, play, cook, go to the office, go to school, meet someone, etc. Thus, proper knowledge of time is very quintessential. Usually, time is the answer to when a certain event occurs, going to occur, or has occurred.
We can also describe time as a period during which a certain event takes place, has taken place or is going to take place. Time is a computable quantity and is also infinite. Time can be measured in hours, days, minutes, seconds, months, and years. There are many other smaller units of time such as microseconds and milliseconds. The smallest unit of time is 'Zepto second'.
2. What is the Concept of Time Zones?
Answer: In some parts of the world, we describe time-based timings on time zones. As the Earth rotates on its axis, we encounter day and light. When a part of the Earth acquires sunlight, it experiences day, while the other parts experience night. This in fact indicates that our lunchtime may be someone else's sleep time given that they live on that part of the earth where there is night.
Daylight saving is the activity of resetting clocks ahead by an hour or behind by an hour. It is practised in some parts of the world in order to make better use of the day time.
