Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Maths Time Worksheet 4 Grade 3
Let's solve the problem step by step.

We are given two columns:

Left Column (Times in minutes):
- A. 6:30
- B. 8:15
- C. 9:30
- D. 10:45
- E. 7:15
- F. 3:15
- G. 1:45
- H. 5:30

Right Column (Time expressions in words):
1. Quarter past 7
2. Quarter to 21
3. Half past 6
4. Quarter past 4
5. Half past 9
6. Quarter to 2
7. Half past 5
8. Quarter past 3

We need to match each time in the left column with its correct word expression in the right column.

---

Step 1: Understand the meaning of each phrase



- "Quarter past X" = 15 minutes after X → X:15
- "Half past X" = 30 minutes after X → X:30
- "Quarter to X" = 15 minutes before X → X:45 (e.g., quarter to 2 = 1:45)

---

Now match each one:



#### A. 6:30 → Half past 6 → 3

#### B. 8:15 → Quarter past 8 → But wait, there's no "quarter past 8". Let's check options.

Wait — we don't have "quarter past 8" in the list. Let’s look at the options again.

We have:
- 1. Quarter past 7 → 7:15
- 2. Quarter to 21 → This is unusual. 21? Probably a typo or misprint. Likely meant to be "quarter to 2", but it says "21". But let's analyze.

Wait — "Quarter to 21" — that would be 15 minutes before 21:00 → 20:45 → 8:45 PM. But we don’t have 8:45.

But we do have D. 10:45 — which is quarter to 11.

Hmm — maybe "quarter to 21" is not valid. Alternatively, could it be a mistake?

Wait — perhaps it's a typo. Let's reevaluate.

Wait — look at D. 10:45 — this is quarter to 11, but "quarter to 11" isn't listed.

But option 2. Quarter to 21 — 21:00 is 9 PM. So quarter to 21:00 = 20:45 → 8:45 PM.

But we have D. 10:45 — that's 10:45, not 8:45.

So maybe "quarter to 21" is a red herring?

Wait — let's go through all the times carefully.

Let’s list all the times and their word equivalents.

---

Convert each time to words:



- A. 6:30 → half past 6 → matches 3
- B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but no such option. Closest is 1. quarter past 7 → 7:15 → not 8:15.
- C. 9:30 → half past 9 → matches 5
- D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → but "quarter to 11" isn't listed. We have "quarter to 21"? That doesn't make sense unless it's military time.

Wait — 21:00 is 9 PM. So “quarter to 21” means 15 minutes before 21:00 → 20:45 → 8:45 PM.

But D is 10:45 → which is 10:45 AM/PM → 10:45 → quarter to 11 → so should be “quarter to 11”

But “quarter to 11” is not in the list.

But we have 2. Quarter to 21 → 20:45 → 8:45 → not matching D.

Wait — what about G. 1:45 → quarter to 2 → yes! 1:45 is 15 minutes before 2 → “quarter to 2”

So G. 1:45 → 6. Quarter to 2

Now back to D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → but no such option.

Wait — is there a possibility that “quarter to 21” is a typo for “quarter to 11”? Because 21 is likely a typo.

Alternatively, maybe “quarter to 21” is meant to be “quarter to 11”, but written as 21 by mistake?

But 21 is 9 PM, so quarter to 21 is 8:45.

But we don’t have 8:45 in the list.

Let’s list all the times and see which ones can match.

Let’s try matching from the right side.

Right Column Analysis:



1. Quarter past 7 → 7:15 → matches E. 7:15

2. Quarter to 21 → 20:45 → 8:45 → but we don’t have 8:45 → none of the left times are 8:45 → so this might be invalid.

Wait — unless it's D. 10:45 → but that’s not 8:45.

Unless “quarter to 21” is a typo and meant to be “quarter to 11” → then 10:45 → yes!

So possibly 2. Quarter to 21 is a typo and should be quarter to 11 → then D. 10:45 → 2

But that’s speculative.

Alternatively, maybe “21” is a typo for “11”? Unlikely.

Wait — another idea: maybe “quarter to 21” means 15 minutes before 21:00 → 20:45 → 8:45 → but we don’t have that.

But we do have F. 3:15 → quarter past 3 → matches 8. Quarter past 3

Yes!

And H. 5:30 → half past 5 → matches 7. Half past 5

Now let’s go one by one.

---

Match each:



A. 6:30 → half past 6 → 3

B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but no such option. Is there a match?

Look at 1. Quarter past 7 → 7:15 → that’s E

C. 9:30 → half past 9 → 5

D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → but not listed

But 2. Quarter to 21 → 20:45 → 8:45 → not in list

Wait — is there a possibility that “quarter to 21” is meant to be “quarter to 11”? Then D. 10:45 → 2

But 21 is written, not 11.

Alternatively, maybe it’s quarter to 11, and “21” is a typo?

But let’s keep going.

E. 7:15 → quarter past 7 → 1

F. 3:15 → quarter past 3 → 8

G. 1:45 → quarter to 2 → 6

H. 5:30 → half past 5 → 7

Now what about B. 8:15? No match yet.

We have used:

- 1 → E (7:15)
- 2 → ? (quarter to 21 → 20:45) → not matched
- 3 → A (6:30)
- 4 → ? (quarter past 4 → 4:15) → not in list
- 5 → C (9:30)
- 6 → G (1:45)
- 7 → H (5:30)
- 8 → F (3:15)

Wait — 4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 → but we don’t have 4:15 in the left column.

Left column has:

- A. 6:30
- B. 8:15
- C. 9:30
- D. 10:45
- E. 7:15
- F. 3:15
- G. 1:45
- H. 5:30

So missing times: 8:15 and 4:15?

But 8:15 is present (B), and 4:15 is not.

But 4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 → not in list.

So why is it there?

Wait — perhaps B. 8:15 is supposed to match 4. Quarter past 4? No, that’s wrong.

Unless there’s a typo.

Wait — maybe 4. Quarter past 4 is meant to be quarter past 8?

But it says “quarter past 4”.

Alternatively, perhaps B. 8:15 is unmatched.

But we have only 8 items on both sides.

Wait — let’s list what we have:

Left: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H → 8 items

Right: 1 to 8 → 8 items

So every item must match.

But currently:

- 1. Quarter past 7 → E. 7:15
- 2. Quarter to 21 → ? → 20:45 → not in list
- 3. Half past 6 → A. 6:30
- 4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 → not in list
- 5. Half past 9 → C. 9:30
- 6. Quarter to 2 → G. 1:45
- 7. Half past 5 → H. 5:30
- 8. Quarter past 3 → F. 3:15

So used: 1,3,5,6,7,8 → matched

Left: B. 8:15 and D. 10:45

Unmatched right: 2 and 4

But 2: quarter to 21 → 20:45 → not 10:45 or 8:15

4: quarter past 4 → 4:15 → not in list

So something is wrong.

Wait — perhaps “quarter to 21” is a typo for “quarter to 11” → then D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → matches 2

And “quarter past 4” → 4:15 → not in list, but we have B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but no “quarter past 8” in list

But we have 4. Quarter past 4 — not 8.

Wait — unless it’s quarter past 8, but written as 4 by mistake?

Alternatively, maybe B. 8:15 is meant to be 4:15? But it’s written as 8:15.

Wait — let’s double-check the image.

You said:
B. 8:15
and
4. quarter past 4

But 8:15 is not quarter past 4.

Unless the number is wrong.

Wait — perhaps “quarter to 21” is actually “quarter to 11” and “quarter past 4” is “quarter past 8” — but that seems like too many typos.

Another idea: maybe “quarter to 21” is meant to be “quarter to 11”, and “quarter past 4” is “quarter past 8”, but that’s speculation.

But let’s think differently.

What if “quarter to 21” is not a typo? Then 21:00 is 9 PM, so quarter to 21 is 20:45 → 8:45 PM.

But we don’t have 8:45 in the list.

But we do have D. 10:45 — which is 10:45 → quarter to 11 → so should be “quarter to 11”

But “quarter to 11” is not listed.

However, 2. Quarter to 21 — if it were “quarter to 11”, then D. 10:45 → 2

Similarly, 4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 — not in list.

But B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 — not in list.

So only possibilities are:

- 8:15 → quarter past 8 — but not listed
- 10:45 → quarter to 11 — not listed

But we have 4. Quarter past 4 — maybe it's a typo for quarter past 8?

Or perhaps the left column has a typo.

Wait — look at B. 8:15 — is it possible it's 4:15? But it says 8:15.

Wait — perhaps “quarter to 21” is a typo for “quarter to 11”, and “quarter past 4” is a typo for “quarter past 8” — but that’s too many.

Alternatively, maybe “quarter to 21” is meant to be “quarter to 11”, and “quarter past 4” is “quarter past 8”, but let's see if any other interpretation works.

Wait — what if “quarter to 21” is “quarter to 11”, then D. 10:45 → 2

And 4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 — not in list, but we have B. 8:15 — not matching.

But we have no 4:15.

Unless B. 8:15 is meant to be 4:15 — but it's written as 8:15.

This is confusing.

Wait — let’s check if “quarter to 21” is actually “quarter to 11”, and the “21” is a typo.

In some contexts, people write hours in 24-hour format, so 21:00 is 9 PM.

So “quarter to 21” = 20:45 = 8:45 PM.

But we have D. 10:45 — which is 10:45, not 8:45.

So unless D is 8:45, it doesn't match.

But it's written as 10:45.

Wait — perhaps D. 10:45 is a typo for 8:45? But unlikely.

Another idea: maybe “quarter to 21” is “quarter to 11”, and D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → matches 2

Then 4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 — but we don’t have 4:15.

But we have B. 8:15 — which is quarter past 8.

But no “quarter past 8” in list.

Unless 4. Quarter past 4 is meant to be quarter past 8 — typo in number.

But it says “quarter past 4”.

Wait — perhaps the right column has a typo.

Let’s look at the original image description.

It says:

> 2. Quarter to 21
> 4. Quarter past 4

But “quarter to 21” is strange.

Wait — could it be “quarter to 11” instead of “quarter to 21”? That makes more sense.

Similarly, “quarter past 4” might be “quarter past 8”.

But without knowing, we have to work with what's given.

But let’s try to find a consistent matching.

Let’s list the times and see which ones can match.

Try matching:



- A. 6:30 → half past 6 → 3
- B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but not in list → no match
- C. 9:30 → half past 9 → 5
- D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → not in list
- E. 7:15 → quarter past 7 → 1
- F. 3:15 → quarter past 3 → 8
- G. 1:45 → quarter to 2 → 6
- H. 5:30 → half past 5 → 7

So far, we have:

- 1 → E
- 3 → A
- 5 → C
- 6 → G
- 7 → H
- 8 → F

Left: B and D

Right: 2 and 4

2. Quarter to 21 → 20:45 → 8:45 → not in list

4. Quarter past 4 → 4:15 → not in list

But we have B. 8:15 and D. 10:45

Neither matches.

So unless there's a typo, it's impossible.

But perhaps “quarter to 21” is a typo for “quarter to 11”, then D. 10:45 → 2

And “quarter past 4” is a typo for “quarter past 8”, then B. 8:15 → 4

That would make sense.

So likely, the intended matches are:

- B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but listed as “quarter past 4” → typo
- D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → but listed as “quarter to 21” → typo

But “21” is 9 PM, so quarter to 21 is 8:45, not 10:45.

Unless it's quarter to 11, and “21” is a typo.

But 11 is not 21.

Perhaps in some countries, they use different notation.

Another possibility: maybe “quarter to 21” means 15 minutes before 21:00, but 21:00 is 9 PM, so 8:45.

But we have 10:45.

Unless D is 8:45, but it's written as 10:45.

So perhaps D. 10:45 is a typo for 8:45.

But that’s also speculative.

Given the context, and since 10:45 is quarter to 11, and 11 is not in the list, but 21 is, it's likely a typo.

But let’s consider that “quarter to 21” might be “quarter to 11”, and the “2” in “21” is a typo.

Similarly, “quarter past 4” might be “quarter past 8”.

But let’s assume that the intended matches are:

- B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but listed as 4 → so 4 is meant to be “quarter past 8”
- D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → but listed as 2 → so 2 is meant to be “quarter to 11”

But “21” is not “11”.

Wait — perhaps it’s “quarter to 11”, and “21” is a typo.

In many educational materials, such typos occur.

So likely:

- 2. Quarter to 21 → should be quarter to 11 → matches D. 10:45
- 4. Quarter past 4 → should be quarter past 8 → matches B. 8:15

Even though the numbers are wrong, that’s the only way it makes sense.

So final matching:

| Left | Right |
|------|-------|
| A. 6:30 | 3. half past 6 |
| B. 8:15 | 4. quarter past 4 (intended: quarter past 8) |
| C. 9:30 | 5. half past 9 |
| D. 10:45 | 2. quarter to 21 (intended: quarter to 11) |
| E. 7:15 | 1. quarter past 7 |
| F. 3:15 | 8. quarter past 3 |
| G. 1:45 | 6. quarter to 2 |
| H. 5:30 | 7. half past 5 |

But since the text says “quarter to 21” and “quarter past 4”, we have to go with what's written.

But based on logic, the only possible matches are:

- A. 6:30 → 3
- C. 9:30 → 5
- E. 7:15 → 1
- F. 3:15 → 8
- G. 1:45 → 6
- H. 5:30 → 7

Then B. 8:15 and D. 10:45 must match 2 and 4.

But neither matches.

Unless we accept that:

- D. 10:45 → quarter to 11 → but listed as “quarter to 21” → so maybe “21” is a typo for “11”

- B. 8:15 → quarter past 8 → but listed as “quarter past 4” → typo

So the intended answer is:

- A. 6:30 → 3
- B. 8:15 → 4 (even though it should be quarter past 8)
- C. 9:30 → 5
- D. 10:45 → 2 (even though it should be quarter to 11)
- E. 7:15 → 1
- F. 3:15 → 8
- G. 1:45 → 6
- H. 5:30 → 7

But that’s incorrect.

Perhaps the right column has:

2. Quarter to 11 (not 21)

4. Quarter past 8 (not 4)

Then it works.

But as per the image, it says “quarter to 21” and “quarter past 4”.

Given that, and since 21 is likely a typo for 11, and 4 for 8, we'll assume that.

So final answer:

- A. 6:30 → 3
- B. 8:15 → 4 (assuming "quarter past 4" is a typo for "quarter past 8")
- C. 9:30 → 5
- D. 10:45 → 2 (assuming "quarter to 21" is a typo for "quarter to 11")
- E. 7:15 → 1
- F. 3:15 → 8
- G. 1:45 → 6
- H. 5:30 → 7

But to be accurate, let's assume the image has typos.

Otherwise, it's unsolvable.

So the most reasonable matching is:

Final Answer:



- A. 6:30 → 3. half past 6
- B. 8:15 → 4. quarter past 4 (but should be quarter past 8)
- C. 9:30 → 5. half past 9
- D. 10:45 → 2. quarter to 21 (but should be quarter to 11)
- E. 7:15 → 1. quarter past 7
- F. 3:15 → 8. quarter past 3
- G. 1:45 → 6. quarter to 2
- H. 5:30 → 7. half past 5

But this is only correct if we ignore the typos.

Perhaps in the image, "21" is a typo for "11", and "4" for "8".

So the intended solution is:

Answer:

- A → 3
- B → 4
- C → 5
- D → 2
- E → 1
- F → 8
- G → 6
- H → 7

With the understanding that:
- "quarter to 21" is a typo for "quarter to 11"
- "quarter past 4" is a typo for "quarter past 8"

Otherwise, the problem has no solution.

Given the context of a children's worksheet, these are likely typos.

So the final matching is:

A - 3
B - 4
C - 5
D - 2
E - 1
F - 8
G - 6
H - 7
