So, a quarter of an hour means $\\frac{1}{4}$ of 60 minutes, which is 15 minutes. When the minute hand of a clock has traveled a quarter way around the clock from the number 12 to the number 3, it covers 15 minutes. This is called&nbsp;quarter past the hour. The hour hand also moves along with the minute hand such that it is a quarter of the way between one number and the next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example: Quarter past 5 means 15 minutes past 5&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"
