What Is Quarter To 5. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes (1/4 of 60, the number of minutes in an hour). I understand how ur confused.
It is quarter past seven by watch three6.
Another way of putting this is that quarter to twelve means 11:45. It took me a long time to understand it too. If you mean an expession such as quarter of six, it means a quarter of an hour before six o'clock, or in other words, 5:45. A quarter is one of four equal parts of something.
