Easy
What does the short hand on an analog clock indicate?
Minute Hand
Second Hand
Date Indicator
Hour Hand
The short hand on an analog clock represents the hour. It points directly to the current hour on the clock face.
When both hands of an analog clock point to 12, what time is it?
9:00
6:00
3:00
12:00
When both the hour and minute hands are at 12, the clock shows exactly 12:00. This is commonly known as 'twelve o'clock'.
How many minutes are there in one hour?
60
100
45
30
There are 60 minutes in one hour, which is a fundamental fact in timekeeping. This concept is essential for understanding clock reading and time conversion.
If the minute hand is on 6 and the hour hand is between 2 and 3, what time is it?
6:30
2:06
3:30
2:30
The minute hand on 6 indicates 30 minutes past the hour, while the hour hand between 2 and 3 confirms that the time is 2:30. This is a typical reading of an analog clock.
How many hours are there in a day?
12
48
6
24
A full day consists of 24 hours. This basic fact underpins our understanding of time and daily schedules.
Medium
If the clock shows 4:15, how is this time commonly described?
Quarter past four
Quarter past five
Quarter to five
Half past four
At 4:15, 15 minutes have elapsed since 4:00, which is expressed in words as 'quarter past four'. This phrasing is standard for indicating minutes past the hour on an analog clock.
What is the digital time for a clock displaying 'quarter past seven'?
7:30
8:15
7:15
7:45
The phrase 'quarter past seven' means that 15 minutes have passed since 7:00. Therefore, the digital time is 7:15.
When the minute hand is on the 9, how many minutes past the hour is it?
30
15
45
60
Each numeral on an analog clock represents 5-minute increments. Since the minute hand on 9 equals 9 x 5, it shows 45 minutes past the hour.
Convert 90 minutes into hours and minutes.
2 hours 30 minutes
1 hour 45 minutes
2 hours 15 minutes
1 hour 30 minutes
Ninety minutes converts directly into 1 hour and 30 minutes because 60 minutes make an hour. This conversion is useful when comparing time durations.
If it is 3:30 now, what time will it be in 2 hours and 15 minutes?
4:45
5:15
5:45
6:00
Adding 2 hours to 3:30 gives 5:30, and an additional 15 minutes brings the time to 5:45. This requires basic addition of hours and minutes.
Which of the following times is displayed when the minute hand is on 12?
10:45
5:00
7:30
3:15
When the minute hand points to 12, it indicates the start of an hour (i.e., :00). Thus, times like 5:00 are accurately represented in this way.
How many seconds are in one minute?
60
30
100
45
One minute is universally defined as 60 seconds. Understanding this conversion is critical for more advanced time calculations.
Which digital time represents 'half past eight'?
9:30
7:30
8:15
8:30
The term 'half past eight' indicates that 30 minutes have passed since eight o'clock, making the digital time 8:30. This is a standard expression in time-telling.
How is the time 11:45 commonly expressed in words?
10 minutes to twelve
Quarter past eleven
Quarter to twelve
Half past eleven
At 11:45, there are 15 minutes remaining until 12:00, so it is expressed as 'quarter to twelve'. This phrasing is typical when talking about time in words.
What time is 15 minutes before 6 o'clock?
6:15
5:30
5:45
6:00
Subtracting 15 minutes from 6:00 results in 5:45. This exercise reinforces the concept of time subtraction.
Hard
If an analog clock's hour hand is exactly on 9 and its minute hand is on 9, what digital time does it represent?
9:45
8:45
10:45
9:15
When the minute hand is on the 9, it represents 45 minutes past the hour, while the hour hand on 9 confirms the hour. Therefore, the digital time is 9:45.
A school event starts at 10:00 AM and lasts for 2 hours and 20 minutes. What time does it end?
12:30
1:00
12:20
11:20
Starting at 10:00 AM and adding 2 hours brings the time to 12:00, with an additional 20 minutes arriving at 12:20. This calculation helps in understanding total elapsed time.
If you wake up at 7:00 AM and have breakfast for 25 minutes, what time is it after breakfast?
7:15 AM
7:30 AM
7:35 AM
7:25 AM
Adding 25 minutes to 7:00 AM results in 7:25 AM. This reinforces the concept of adding minutes to a given start time.
On a 12‑hour digital clock, which of the following times can be ambiguous without an AM/PM indicator?
12:00
6:00
7:15
9:30
On a 12-hour digital clock, '12:00' can refer to either noon or midnight if no AM/PM indicator is provided. This ambiguity makes it a unique case compared to other times.
Calculate the elapsed time between 2:40 and 5:15.
2 hours 45 minutes
2 hours 25 minutes
2 hours 35 minutes
3 hours 35 minutes
From 2:40 to 5:15, the elapsed time is 2 hours and 35 minutes. This question tests the ability to compute time differences accurately.
