Time to the Minute — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If a movie starts at 3:25 and lasts 30 minutes, it ends at 3:55.
3:25 + 30 minutes = 3:55.
2. The minute hand on 7 means 35 minutes past the hour.
The minute hand on the 7 means 7 × 5 = 35 minutes past the hour.
3. From 11:15 to 11:45, 30 minutes have passed.
11:45 − 11:15 = 30 minutes.
4. If you start homework at 4:50 and finish at 5:10, you worked for 20 minutes.
4:50 to 5:00 is 10 minutes, and 5:00 to 5:10 is 10 more minutes, so 20 minutes total.
5. The hour hand between 9 and 10 with the minute hand on 4 reads 9:20.
The minute hand on the 4 means 4 × 5 = 20 minutes past the hour.
6. From 6:00 AM to 6:45 AM, 45 minutes have passed.
6:45 − 6:00 = 45 minutes.
7. If soccer practice starts at 3:30 PM and lasts 45 minutes, it ends at 4:15 PM.
3:30 + 45 minutes = 4:15.
8. A clock with the minute hand on 10 shows 50 minutes past the hour.
The minute hand on the 10 means 10 × 5 = 50 minutes past the hour.
9. From 8:20 to 9:00, 40 minutes have passed.
8:20 to 9:00 = 40 minutes.
