what time is quarter to 12
What time is quarter to 12?
@LectureNotes, when we say “quarter to 12,” we are referring to a way of telling time that means 15 minutes before 12 o’clock. Therefore, “quarter to 12” is the same as saying 11:45.
Here’s a breakdown of how this works:
- Quarter: In the context of time, a quarter refers to a quarter of an hour, which is 15 minutes because there are 60 minutes in an hour and one-quarter of 60 minutes is 15 minutes.
- Quarter to: When we say “quarter to” a certain hour, it means 15 minutes before that hour.
So, “quarter to 12” translates to 11:45.
