Tell Time Minutes · Grade 3 · Worksheet 2

  1. A train leaves the station at 2:45 PM and arrives at its destination 3 hours and 25 minutes later. What time does the train arrive? Write your answer as a plain number in the format HHMM (for example, 3:15 PM would be 1515). Answer: 1810 Solution: Start with the departure time: 2:45 PM Add 3 hours: 2:45 PM + 3 hours = 5:45 PM Add 25 minutes: 5:45 PM + 25 minutes = 5:70 PM Since 70 minutes is more than 60 minutes, convert 70 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes 5:70 PM = 6:10 PM Convert 6:10 PM to 24-hour format: 1810 The train arrives at 1810.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Start with the departure time: 2:45 PM Step 2: Add 3 hours: 2:45 PM + 3 hours = 5:45 PM Step 3: Add 25 minutes: 5:45 PM + 25 minutes = 5:70 PM Step 4: Since 70 minutes is more than 60 minutes, convert 70 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes Step 5: 5:70 PM = 6:10 PM Step 6: Convert 6:10 PM to 24-hour format: 1810 The train arrives at 1810.

  2. Kaia's clock shows the hour hand just past the 3 and the minute hand pointing at the 7. What time is it? Answer: 3:35 Solution: The hour hand is just past the 3, so the hour is 3. The minute hand is pointing at the 7. On a clock, each number represents 5 minutes.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The hour hand is just past the 3, so the hour is 3. Step 2: The minute hand is pointing at the 7. On a clock, each number represents 5 minutes. To find the minutes, multiply 7 by 5: 7 × 5 = 35. Step 3: Combine the hour and minutes: 3:35. Final answer: 3:35.

  3. Kaia's clock shows the hour hand between 9 and 10 and the minute hand pointing at the 31st minute mark. What time is it? Answer: 9:31 Solution: The hour hand is between 9 and 10, so the hour is 9. Step 2: The minute hand points to the 31st minute mark. Each small tick mark is 1 minute, so the minutes are 31.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The hour hand is between 9 and 10, so the hour is 9. Step 2: The minute hand points to the 31st minute mark. Each small tick mark is 1 minute, so the minutes are 31. Step 3: Combine the hour and minutes to get 9:31. The answer is 9:31.

  4. Matiu is reading a chapter book. He started reading at 9:52 AM. After reading for 47 minutes, he stopped for a snack. What time did Matiu stop reading? (Write your answer in the format hour:minute AM/PM, like 10:39 AM.) Answer: 10:39 AM Solution: Matiu started at 9:52 AM. He read for 47 minutes. Add the minutes: 52 + 47 = 99 minutes.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Matiu started at 9:52 AM. Step 2: He read for 47 minutes. Step 3: Add the minutes: 52 + 47 = 99 minutes. Step 4: Since 99 minutes is more than 60, convert: 99 minutes = 1 hour and 39 minutes (because 99 - 60 = 39). Step 5: Add the 1 hour to the start hour: 9 + 1 = 10. Step 6: The remaining minutes are 39. Step 7: So the time is 10:39 AM. Final answer: 10:39 AM.

  5. Lily's soccer practice started at 3:45 PM and ended at 4:28 PM. To the nearest minute, how long did her practice last? Answer: 43 minutes Solution: Identify the start and end times. Start time: 3:45 PM End time: 4:28 PM Calculate the time from 3:45 PM to 4:00 PM. From 3:45 to 4:00 is 15 minutes.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Identify the start and end times. Start time: 3:45 PM End time: 4:28 PM Step 2: Calculate the time from 3:45 PM to 4:00 PM. From 3:45 to 4:00 is 15 minutes. Step 3: Calculate the time from 4:00 PM to 4:28 PM. From 4:00 to 4:28 is 28 minutes. Step 4: Add the two time intervals together. 15 minutes + 28 minutes = 43 minutes. Step 5: Check if rounding is needed. The total is exactly 43 minutes, so to the nearest minute it is still 43 minutes. Final answer: 43 minutes.

  6. Liam started his math homework at 3:45 PM. It took him 38 minutes to finish all the problems. What time did Liam finish his homework? (Round your answer to the nearest minute.) Answer: 4:23 PM Solution: Start time is 3:45 PM. We need to add 38 minutes to this time. Add minutes first.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Let's solve this step-by-step. Step 1: Start time is 3:45 PM. We need to add 38 minutes to this time. Step 2: Add minutes first. 45 minutes + 38 minutes = 83 minutes. Step 3: Convert minutes to hours and minutes. 83 minutes = 1 hour and 23 minutes (since 60 minutes = 1 hour, 83 - 60 = 23). Step 4: Add the 1 hour to the start hour. 3 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours. Step 5: Keep the minutes from Step 3. So the time is 4:23 PM. Step 6: Check rounding — the problem says "Round your answer to the nearest minute." Since 38 minutes is exact, no rounding adjustment is needed. Final answer: 4:23 PM

  7. Noah is setting up a new digital clock in his room. The clock shows 3:26 PM. His mom says the clock is 11 minutes fast. What time should the clock actually show, to the nearest minute? Answer: 3:15 PM Solution: The clock shows 3:26 PM, but it is 11 minutes fast. This means the actual time is 11 minutes earlier than what the clock shows. Subtract 11 minutes from the displayed time: 3:26 PM - 11 minutes = 3:15 PM.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The clock shows 3:26 PM, but it is 11 minutes fast. Step 2: This means the actual time is 11 minutes earlier than what the clock shows. Step 3: Subtract 11 minutes from the displayed time: 3:26 PM - 11 minutes = 3:15 PM. Step 4: The time is already to the nearest minute, so no rounding is needed. The actual time is 3:15 PM.

  8. Lily's school bus arrives at 8:47 AM. She needs to know what time this is to the nearest minute for her schedule. What time does Lily's bus arrive to the nearest minute? Answer: 8:47 Solution: Understand what "to the nearest minute" means. When rounding a time to the nearest minute, we look at the seconds part of the time. If the seconds are 30 or more, we round the minute up by 1.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Understand what "to the nearest minute" means. When rounding a time to the nearest minute, we look at the seconds part of the time. If the seconds are 30 or more, we round the minute up by 1. If the seconds are less than 30, we keep the same minute. Step 2: Identify the given time. Lily's bus arrives at 8:47 AM. This means 8 hours and 47 minutes. Since no seconds are given, we assume the seconds are 00. Step 3: Apply the rounding rule. Seconds = 00. Since 00 is less than 30, we do not round up. The minutes stay at 47. Step 4: State the rounded time. The time to the nearest minute is 8:47. Final Answer: 8:47

  9. Isabella is practicing for her piano recital. She looked at the clock on the wall, and the hour hand was just past the 4, and the minute hand was pointing directly at the 2. To the nearest minute, what time did Isabella see on the clock? Answer: 4:10 Solution: The hour hand is just past the 4, so the hour is 4. Step 2: The minute hand is pointing at the 2. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The hour hand is just past the 4, so the hour is 4. Step 2: The minute hand is pointing at the 2. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. Step 3: Multiply 2 by 5 to find the minutes: 2 × 5 = 10. Step 4: The time is 4:10. The answer is 4:10.
