Let’s solve each clock problem one by one. We’ll figure out what time “quarter after” or “quarter to” means, then write the correct time on the line.
Remember:
- “Quarter after” = 15 minutes past the hour → :15
- “Quarter to” = 15 minutes before the next hour → :45 (because 60 - 15 = 45)
Now let’s go row by row:
---
Row 1:
→ Quarter after 4
That means 15 minutes after 4 o’clock →
4:15
→ Quarter after 9
15 minutes after 9 →
9:15
---
Row 2:
→ Quarter after 2
15 minutes after 2 →
2:15
→ Quarter after 10
15 minutes after 10 →
10:15
---
Row 3:
→ Quarter to 12
15 minutes BEFORE 12 → that’s 11:45 (because 12:00 minus 15 min = 11:45)
→ Quarter to 4
15 minutes BEFORE 4 → that’s 3:45
---
Row 4:
→ Quarter to 10
15 minutes BEFORE 10 → 9:45
→ Quarter to 2
15 minutes BEFORE 2 → 1:45
---
Let me double-check all of them:
- Quarter after 4 → 4:15
✔
- Quarter after 9 → 9:15
✔
- Quarter after 2 → 2:15
✔
- Quarter after 10 → 10:15
✔
- Quarter to 12 → 11:45
✔
- Quarter to 4 → 3:45
✔
- Quarter to 10 → 9:45
✔
- Quarter to 2 → 1:45
✔
All times are correct!
Final Answer:
4:15, 9:15, 2:15, 10:15, 11:45, 3:45, 9:45, 1:45
