Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 1

Question 1.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 2
Answer: Twenty minutes past 2.
A Clock is a circular device provided with three hands viz. an hour hand, minute and second hand. The study of the clock is known as “horology”.
First of all, we need to learn the definition of time: In math, time can be defined as the ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession, from the past through the present to the future. Time is used to quantify, measure or compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and even, sequence events.
We measure time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years with clocks and calendars.
– The shorthand is the hour hand.
– The long hand is a minute hand.
In the given question, the shorthand is on 2. And the long hand is on 4.
Now we can say the time is 2 hours 20 minutes. In another, we can say twenty minutes past 2.

Question 3.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 4
Answer: 8 minutes past 11
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time q3
Count the small hands in between 1 and 2 which represents the minutes.
1 represents 5.
2 represents 10.
In between 5 and 10, there are 6, 7, 8, 9 hands also there. That I represented in the above diagram.

Question 4.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 6
Answer: 35 minutes to 8
Explanation:
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time q4
The shorthand represents the hour.
The long hand represents minutes.
The shorthand is on 8 and the long hand is on 7.
In the clock 7 represents 35. So the answer is 35 minutes to 8.

Question 5.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 7
Answer: 5 minutes to 2.
Explanation: The minute hand is pointing to 11. This means that it is 5 minutes to the next hour. The hour hand is moving towards two. The representation is done in the below diagram.

Question 6.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 8
Answer: 31 minutes to 4
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time q6
The minute hand of our clock is on 31.
Count clock-wise direction in one’s 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.
This means that it is 31 minutes to the next hour.
The hour hand is moving towards 4.

Tell the time. Use past or to.

Question 7.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 9
Answer: 11 minutes to 7
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time q7
– Each increment on the clock face is one minute.
– Looking at the left-hand side of the clock, moving anti-clockwise from 12, each number is multiple of 5 minutes to the next hour.
– So, from 12 we can count in fives to find out how many minutes there are until the next hour is reached.
– We can count the minute up to 25, but not including 30. We don’t say 30 minutes to. Instead, we say half-past.
– According to the above diagram from 12 we can count 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and so on… up to 30 in the anti-clockwise direction.
– In the diagram, the representation is 11 minutes to 7.

The actual time gave 7:13.
1 hour is equal to 60 minutes.
7:13 can be written as 6 hours 47 minutes.
If we subtract 13 from 60: 60-13=47.
So what is this mean, 47 minutes left to the next hour.
The next hour is 8. So I wrote 47 minutes to 8.

Question 17.
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time 24
Answer:

2. 21 minutes to 5
First way:
39 minutes past 4
Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 16 Practice 1 Answer Key Telling Time q17
– Each increment on the clock face is one minute.
– Each number is multiple of 5 minutes to the next hour.
– So, from 12 we can count in fives to find out how many minutes there are until the next hour is reached.
– We can count the minute up to 25, but not including 30. We don’t say 30 minutes to. Instead, we say half-past.
– According to the above diagram from 12. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on… up to 60.
– In the diagram, the representation is 39 minutes past 4.
Second way:
21 minutes to 5
