Time to the Minute — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If it is 2:15 and 30 minutes pass, the new time is 2:45.
2:15 + 30 minutes = 2:45.
2. The clock shows the hour hand past 5 and the minute hand on 8. The time is 5:40.
The minute hand on the 8 means 8 × 5 = 40 minutes past the hour.
3. From 9:00 to 9:45, 45 minutes have passed.
9:45 − 9:00 = 45 minutes.
4. If recess starts at 10:20 and lasts 15 minutes, it ends at 10:35.
10:20 + 15 minutes = 10:35.
5. The minute hand on 3 and the hour hand between 7 and 8 shows the time 7:15.
The minute hand on the 3 means 3 × 5 = 15 minutes past the hour.
6. From 1:30 to 2:00, 30 minutes have passed.
2:00 − 1:30 = 30 minutes.
7. If school starts at 8:05 and the bell rings 10 minutes early, the bell rings at 7:55.
8:05 − 10 minutes = 7:55.
8. A clock with the minute hand on 11 shows 55 minutes past the hour.
The minute hand on the 11 means 11 × 5 = 55 minutes past the hour.
9. From 4:10 to 4:40, 30 minutes have passed.
4:40 − 4:10 = 30 minutes.
