Write the time.
Common Core 2.MD.C.7
Telling time to the quarter hour
The short hand is the hour. The long hand is the minutes. At 12 it is :00, at 3 it is :15, at 6 it is :30, and at 9 it is :45. At :45 the short hand is almost at the next hour, but the hour is still the one it passed.
One worked example
Long hand on the 9, short hand just before the 5
- The 9 means 45 minutes.
- The short hand has not reached the 5 yet.
- The time is 4:45, which is also quarter to 5.
