4:45 is quarter to 5, or 15 minutes to 5.

312-hour and 24-hour time

In the afternoon, add 12 to the hour to write 24-hour time. 24-hour time has 4 digits.

Example

3:30 p.m. = 15:30
9:15 a.m. = 09:15
Midnight is 00:00 and noon is 12:00.

4Units of time

  • 60 seconds = 1 minute
  • 60 minutes = 1 hour
  • 24 hours = 1 day
  • 7 days = 1 week
Example

3 hours = 3 × 60 = 180 minutes
240 seconds = 240 ÷ 60 = 4 minutes

5Time that passes

Count on to the next hour first. Then add the rest.

Example

14:15 to 16:05
14:15 to 16:00 is 1 hour 45 minutes
Add 5 minutes: 1 hour 50 minutes

  • 31 days: all the other months
  • February: 28 days, or 29 in a leap year
