Let's solve the problem step by step.

Part 1: Write the time shown on each clock
We have four clocks. We need to determine the time shown on each and write it in digital format (HH:MM).
####
Clock 1
-
Hour hand: Between 8 and 9 → closer to 8
-
Minute hand: Pointing at 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes
- So, the time is
8:15
>
✔ Answer: 8:15
####
Clock 2
-
Hour hand: Between 4 and 5 → closer to 4
-
Minute hand: Pointing at 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes
- So, the time is
4:45
>
✔ Answer: 4:45
####
Clock 3
-
Hour hand: Between 1 and 2 → closer to 1
-
Minute hand: Pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
- So, the time is
1:15
>
✔ Answer: 1:15
####
Clock 4
-
Hour hand: Between 6 and 7 → closer to 7
-
Minute hand: Pointing at 9 → 45 minutes
- So, the time is
6:45
>
✔ Answer: 6:45

Part 2: Match the phrases to the correct digital time
Now we match each phrase with its corresponding digital time.
#### 1.
It’s a quarter past three.
- "Quarter past" means 15 minutes after the hour.
- Three o'clock + 15 minutes =
3:15
>
✔ Answer: 3:15
#### 2.
It’s a quarter to four.
- "Quarter to" means 15 minutes before the hour.
- Four o'clock – 15 minutes =
3:45
>
✔ Answer: 3:45
#### 3.
It’s a quarter past ten.
- Ten o'clock + 15 minutes =
10:15
>
✔ Answer: 10:15
#### 4.
It’s a quarter to eleven.
- Eleven o'clock – 15 minutes =
10:45
>
✔ Answer: 10:45
#### 5.
It’s a quarter to six.
- Six o'clock – 15 minutes =
5:45
>
✔ Answer: 5:45
#### 6.
It’s a quarter past eight.
- Eight o'clock + 15 minutes =
8:15
>

📝 Summary of Key Concepts:
-
Quarter past = 15 minutes
after the hour → add 15 minutes.
-
Quarter to = 15 minutes
before the hour → subtract 15 minutes.
- Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes (e.g., 3 = 15 minutes, 6 = 30, 9 = 45, etc.).
