Let's solve this step-by-step.
This worksheet is about matching analog clock times with their written time expressions using "quarter to" phrases. A
quarter to means
15 minutes before the hour, so:
- "Quarter to 6" = 5:45
- "Quarter to 1" = 12:45 (since 15 minutes before 1:00 is 12:45)
- "Quarter to 5" = 4:45
- "Quarter to 11" = 10:45
- "Quarter to 7" = 6:45
Now let’s match each clock to the correct digital time and phrase.

Step 1: Understand the clocks
Each clock shows a time that is
15 minutes before a certain hour (i.e., quarter to).
We'll go through each row.
---
#### Row 1:
- Clock: Hour hand between 5 and 6, minute hand at 9 (which is 45 minutes)
- Phrase:
Quarter to 6
- Time:
5:45
✔ Already matched correctly.
---
#### Row 2:
- Clock: Hour hand between 12 and 1, minute hand at 9 (45 minutes)
- So time is
12:45
- Phrase:
Quarter to 1
- This matches
12:45
So,
Quarter to 1 → 12:45
But currently it's linked to
4:45, which is incorrect.
👉
Fix: Connect “Quarter to 1” to
12:45
---
#### Row 3:
- Clock: Hour hand between 4 and 5, minute hand at 9 →
4:45
- Phrase:
Quarter to 5
- 15 minutes before 5:00 is 4:45
✔
So,
Quarter to 5 → 4:45
Currently linked to
10:45, which is wrong.
👉
Fix: Connect “Quarter to 5” to
4:45
---
#### Row 4:
- Clock: Hour hand between 10 and 11, minute hand at 9 →
10:45
- Phrase:
Quarter to 11
- 15 minutes before 11:00 is 10:45
✔
So,
Quarter to 11 → 10:45
Currently linked to
6:45, which is wrong.
👉
Fix: Connect “Quarter to 11” to
10:45
---
#### Row 5:
- Clock: Hour hand between 6 and 7, minute hand at 9 →
6:45
- Phrase:
Quarter to 7
- 15 minutes before 7:00 is 6:45
✔
So,
Quarter to 7 → 6:45
Currently linked to
12:45, which is wrong.
👉
Fix: Connect “Quarter to 7” to
6:45
---
Final Correct Matches:
| Clock | Phrase | Digital Time |
|-------|----------------|--------------|
| First | Quarter to 6 | 5:45 |
| Second | Quarter to 1 | 12:45 |
| Third | Quarter to 5 | 4:45 |
| Fourth | Quarter to 11 | 10:45 |
| Fifth | Quarter to 7 | 6:45 |

Summary of Corrections:
-
Quarter to 1 → 12:45
-
Quarter to 5 → 4:45
-
Quarter to 11 → 10:45
-
Quarter to 7 → 6:45
Only the first one was correct as given.
