    Telling Time

    Quarter Past

    When it is quarter past the hour, the minute hand of a clock is at the three on the clock face. This is because there are 60 minutes in an hour, and the quarter represents one-quarter of an hour.

    For example, if it is quarter past 12 o'clock, the minute hand will be pointing at the three on the clock face. Similarly, if it is quarter past 3 o'clock, the minute hand will be at the nine on the clock face.

    Half Past

    When it is half past the hour, the minute hand of a clock is at the six on the clock face. This is because there are 60 minutes in an hour, and half represents one-half of an hour.

    For example, if it is half past 12 o'clock, the minute hand will be pointing at the six on the clock face. Similarly, if it is half past 3 o'clock, the minute hand will be at the twelve on the clock face.

    Quarter To

    When it is quarter to the hour, the minute hand of a clock is at the nine on the clock face. This is because there are 60 minutes in an hour, and quarter to represents three-quarters of an hour.

    For example, if it is quarter to 12 o'clock, the minute hand will be pointing at the nine on the clock face. Similarly, if it is quarter to 3 o'clock, the minute hand will be at the three on the clock face.

    Wrapping Up

    Understanding the concept of quarter past, half past, and quarter to is crucial for telling time on an analog clock. These terms are based on the division of an hour into 60 minutes and the representation of each hour as a circle divided into 12 sections. By knowing the position of the minute hand on the clock face, you can easily tell the time and understand the relationship between minutes and hours.
