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 write in different ways. Remember
We can read and write 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 60

7:27 = Thirty-three minutes to eight 50 11 12 1 10

It shows 5 × 5 + 2 = 27 minutes have passed.

The hour hand is between 7 and 8. So, the time is 7:27. 30
Some clocks and their corresponding times are shown below. 2526 27282930
