Question

A clock reads 4:15 in the morning. Which one is the correct way to read it? Choose all the correct answers.

• A. 15 mins past 4
• B. quarter to 4
• C. quarter past 4
• D. half past 4

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A 15 mins past 4
C quarter past 4


The minute hand has passed 15 minutes after 4:00. So, it can be read as 15 mins past 4.

Also, 15 mins is $\frac{1}{4}th$ of an hour,
or, is quarter of an hour. Thus, 4:15 in the morning can also be read as quarter past 4.
