However, in analog clocks, we have to understand the time by looking at the positions of the hour and minute hands. In this section, we’ll try to convert the time in analog clocks to digital form. Reading Analog ClocksTo read analog clocks and convert the time to digital form, you may follow the below steps:
Example 1: Convert the following time into digital form. The hour hand is at two (hasn’t reached or crossed 3), and the minute hand is at 6. The hour component is 2, and the minute component is 6 x 5 = 30. Therefore, the digital version of this time is 2:30. Quarter-hour Fractions in Analog ClocksWe can divide an analog clock into four equal parts. Each part represents a quarter time. Concerning its minute hand, each part represents a quarter hour. Example 2: The clock below shows the passing of a quarter-hour from 12. Telling Time: Quarter HourWe can tell quarter times in two ways. Let’s see each of them. Quarter Past“Quarter past” refers to a quarter-hour past (after) the given time. For instance, quarter past eight refers to 15 minutes after 8 or 8:15. Observe that in a quarter past the hour, the hour hand will be slightly ahead of the number. Quarter To“Quarter to” refers to a quarter-hour to (before) the given time. For instance, quarter to eleven refers to 15 minutes to 11 or 10:45. Observe that in quarter to an hour the hour hand will be slightly behind the number. I’m a clock, My hands race.

Knowing the concept of a quarter hour thus helps in telling time, reading time and calculating time. Solved Examples1. What is the time shown in the clock below? Solution: In the figure, the hour hand of the clock is at 1. So, the hour component of the digital time is also 1. Also, on the clock, the minute hand is at 3. So, the minute component of the digital time is 3 x 5 = 15. So, the time is 3:15 or 15 minutes past 1. We can write it as a quarter past one. 2. Write the digital time of ‘quarter to five’. Solution: 15 minutes to 5 is 4:45. 3. What is two quarters of an hour in minutes? Solution: A quarter-hour is 15 minutes. So, two quarters will be 30 minutes or half an hour. 4. Lombardi believed that one is late if they aren’t a quarter-hour early. So, by what time must a player reach the field if they have to arrive at 6:20 AM for a drill? Solution: Lombardi believed that one is late if they aren’t a quarter-hour early. So, to avoid being late, the player should be a quarter-hour or 15 minutes early before the scheduled time. 15 minutes before 6:20 a.m. is 6:05 a.m. 5. It’s quarter past 4. Aaron is heading back home with his mother to see his grandpa who will leave by quarter past 5. Aaron was supposed to reach home by quarter to 5, but while driving back home, Aaron’s mom encounters a traffic jam that lasts a quarter of an hour. Will Aaron be able to reach his house to meet his grandpa on time? Solution: The current time is quarter past four or 4:15 p.m. Aaron was supposed to reach home by quarter to 5 or 4:45 p.m. Now, if Aaron’s mom encounters a traffic jam that lasts a quarter of an hour, they’ll reach home 15 minutes. That is, they will now reach home by 5 p.m. And since Aaron’s grandpa leaves at quarter past 5, or 5:15 p.m., Aaron will be home in time to see him off.
