Maths Quiz - Time 2 (Very Easy) (Questions)

This 11 Plus Maths quiz helps pupils understand how time zones and duration work together when calculating travel times and time differences across the world.

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

A plane departs at 14:50 and lands at 18:25 after a 2-hour time difference. The actual flight time is 3 hours and 35 minutes.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn how to measure and compare time, including converting between time zones and using the 24-hour clock — skills useful in real-world travel planning.

Key Terms

  • Time Zone: A region that uses the same standard time, often differing by one hour from neighbouring zones.
  • Duration: The total amount of time something takes from start to finish.
  • 24-hour Clock: A system where the day runs from 00:00 to 23:59 without repeating AM or PM.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you calculate travel time with a time difference?

First, find the total time from departure to arrival, then subtract or add the time difference depending on the direction of travel.

What is the easiest way to convert between time zones?

Use a 24-hour clock and add or subtract the time difference. For example, if it’s 15:00 in London and New York is 5 hours behind, it’s 10:00 there.

Why is the 24-hour clock useful for travel?

It avoids confusion between AM and PM times, especially for flights, timetables, and international communication where accuracy is vital.

[ ] 60
[x] 1,440
[ ] 3,600

There are 60 minutes in one hour and 24 hours in one day. So, to work out how many minutes are in one day multiply 60 by 24:
60 x 24 = 1,440

[ ] 9:40 am

If the number of minutes passes '30', the time is read as 'so many minutes (less than 60) TO the next hour, e.g. '9:50' is read as ‘ten to ten’. You need only use the word 'minutes' if the number of minutes is NOT a multiple of 5, e.g. '5:42' is read as ‘eighteen minutes to 6’ because 42 is NOT a multiple of 5
4. It is 3:10 pm but your watch is running half an hour fast. What time does your watch show?
[ ] Twenty past three in the afternoon
[ ] Twenty to three in the afternoon
[ ] Twenty past four in the afternoon

30 minutes after 3:10 is 3:40 - twenty to four in the afternoon
5. How many days are there in a fortnight?

A fortnight is 2 weeks or fourteen days. The word fortnight comes from Old English for fourteen nights
6. How many years are there in a decade?
[ ] Five
[x] Ten
[ ] One-hundred
[ ] One-thousand
A decade lasts ten years. You’ll find ‘dec’ in many words relating to ten: December (the tenth month in the Roman calendar), decagon (a ten-sided shape), decathlon (a sport with ten events)… can you think of any others?
7. How many hours are there in a year?
[ ] 24
[ ] 672
[x] 8,760
[ ] 525,600
There are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year, so to work out how many hours are in a year multiply 24 by 365: 24 x 365 = 8,760
8. If the summer months are June, July and August, how many days are there in summer?
[ ] 90
[ ] 91
[x] 92
[ ] 93
June has 30 days while July and August both have 31.
30 + 31 + 31 = 92
9. Which one of the following is the same as 3,600 seconds?
[x] One hour
[ ] One day
[ ] One week
[ ] One fortnight
There are 60 seconds in a minute so divide 3,600 by 60 to find the number of minutes:
3,600 ÷ 60 = 60 minutes or one hour
10. If you saw the time 6:33, how would you say this in words?
[ ] Twenty-seven to seven
[ ] Twenty-five minutes to seven
[ ] Twenty-five to seven
[x] Twenty-seven minutes to seven
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
