Representing time in hours and minutes
Gyan reached school at 27 minutes past 7. We can say that Gyan reached school at
7:27 a.m. While writing time, we separate hours and minutes using ‘:’.
Time can be read and written in different ways. Math Insight
We can read and write it as We use the word ‘to’ to show that it is
before a certain time and the word ‘past’
7:27 = Seven twenty-seven to show that it is after a certain time.
7:27 = Twenty-seven past seven
55 60 5
7:27 = Thirty-three minutes to eight 12
50 11 1 10
Here, in the given clock, the minute hand is at the second small 10 2
marking after 5. 45 9 8 4 3 15
This shows that 5 × 5 + 2 = 27 minutes have passed. 40 7 6 5 20

The hour hand is between 7 and 8. So, the time is 7:27. 30
