How many weeks are there in a fortnight?
Time (Very Easy)
Weeks and days are measures of time - how many more can you think of?
There are plenty of devices used to measure time. Watches and clocks are two of the familiar ones. Did you know a sundial also tells the time? And if you want to boil an egg making sure the yolk is still runny, what do you use? An egg-timer! You may not have heard of candle clocks or water clocks, but candle clocks go back thousands of years!
This is the first of our Very Easy 11-plus Maths quizzes on time, so you shouldn't have any problems with it.
Time to start! When you have completed this quiz, move onto our next one.
1.
Why is 'time' important?
It makes us buy watches
It makes us learn how to tell the time
It puts events in order by telling us when they happened, happen or will happen
It isn't really important

If the number of minutes passes '30', the time is read as 'so many minutes (less than 30) TO the next hour', e.g. '6:35' is read as twenty-five to seven. It's 25 minutes because 35 minutes have already passed: 25 + 35 = 60 = the number of minutes in an hour. You need only use the word 'minutes' if the number of minutes is NOT a multiple of 5, e.g. '3:42' is read as eighteen minutes to four because 18 is NOT a multiple of 5
9.
If you saw the time 7:25, how would you say this in words?
Twenty-five past seven
Twenty-five past eight
Twenty-five to eight
Thirty-five past seven
If the number of minutes doesn't pass '30', the time is read as 'so many minutes (less than 30) PAST the give hour, e.g. '2:20' is read as twenty past two. You need only use the word 'minutes' if the number of minutes is NOT a multiple of 5, e.g. '3:22' is read as twenty-two minutes past 3 because 22 is NOT a multiple of 5
