    The one in the middle is the odd one out because it uses Arabic numerals whereas the other two clocks use Roman numerals .

    Kayla is right because VIII is 40 minutes and in an hour there are 60. minutes . To get from 40 minutes to the next hour you have to add 20. As it is 20 to 4 . Caleb is wrong because IV equal to 20 minutes and it’s not 20 past four , it’s 20 to 4 .

    Gold

    Seth an hour and 10 minutes to tidy his room. First of all I converted 1 hour and 10 minutes , to minutes which gave me 70 minutes. Then I totalled all the time it took for Seth to tidy his room so I added 25+5+35 which equals 65. I then did Seth‘s total time to tidy his room take away the time spent , so I did 70-65 which equals five . Therefore Seth has five minutes left.

    First of all I worked out how long it takes Miley to do her homework. She says it takes her 3/4 of an hour to do her homework then add five minutes. So I worked out 1/4 of an hour by dividing 60 by 4 which gave me 15. I then times 15 x 3 to get 45. Finally I added 5 to 45 which gave me a total of 50.

    Then I worked out how long it took Ezra to do his homework. He said it took him three lots of 10 minutes to do his homework. So I times 10 x 3 to get 30.

    Thus , Miley took more time than Ezra to do her homework.

    1.C is the odd one out

    4 to twenty minutes to 4 on a clock.
    Gold
    1. 60 + 10 = 70 min

    15 +15 +15 + 5 = 50min
    Miley took 50 min to finish.

  14. Aqsaa F.

    I did the home work on paper my mum print it out.

  15. Minhaj A.

    Bronze:
    1. The clock shows halve past 9 and 30 minutes past 9.
    2.The clock shows 5 minutes past 12.
    3.The clock shows 10 minutes past 4.
    4.The clock shows 25 minutes past 7.
    5.The clock show 20 minutes past 11.
    Silver:
    C.is the odd one out because on the clocks it doesn’t show that time.
    2.Kayla is correct because when the minute hand points to VIII it is 40 minutes gone passed to an hour and 60 minutes make and hour so
    40+20=60. Jerry is incorrect because VI is 30 minutes which is halve an hour and 30+20=50, That is not an hour.
    Gold:
    He has 5 minute left. I know this because If you convert an hour to minutes, that would be 60 minutes but in said 10 minutes. That makes 70 then we subtract the amount. It said it took 25 minutes to moving is toys so 70 – 25 is 45. Then it says 5 minutes making his bed so you need to subtract 45 and take away 5 from it , that is 40.
    Finally it says it to 35 minutes to putting his clothes away so 40 subtract by 35 is 5 minutes.
    Platinum:
    1. The hour hand could be pointing to 12 minutes to 12 because if it looked like 11 minutes to 12 it would be closer like right about just there but a tiny bit more.
    2.I think the minute hand could be pointing to 6 which is 30 minutes past or you can say it as haves past because if you look between 4 and 3 you can just about see it is between each other.

    3. 5 minutes past 12
    4. 10 minutes past 4
    5. 25 minutes past 7
    6. 20 minutes past 11
    Silver
    D is the odd one out because it is 5 minutes to five not 5 minutes past 5.
    All the other ones are past except for this one.
    2.
    Kayla is correct because VIII is 40 minutes so there is 20 minutes until the next hour.
    But IV is 20 minutes past not 20 minutes to.
    Gold
    1 hour and 10 minutes – 25 minutes = 45 minutes
    45 minutes – 5 minutes = 40 minutes
    40 minutes – 35 minutes = 5 minutes
    He has 5 minutes left.
    2.
    Miley took 3 quarters of an hour and 5nminutes to do his homework.
    Ezra took 3 lots of 10 minutes to do his homework.
    Miley took the longest to do his homework because 60 ÷ 4 = 15
    15 x 3 = 45
    45 minutes + 5 minutes = 50 minutes
    And for Ezra 10 x 3 = 30 minutes

    6. 20 minutes past 11.

    Silver:
    C is the odd one out.

    Silver 2:
    Jerry is correct.
    I know this because IV is 4.
    IVVV is 8.

    Gold:
    Seth has 5 minutes to spare.
    I know this because he has a total of 1 hour and 10 minutes (70 minutes) to tidy his room. He spent 1 hour and 5 minutes tidying his room. The sum is 25 + 5 + 35 = 65. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. So, to get the answer you will need to subtract the time he spent tidying his room to the time he was given. The sum is 65 – 70 = 5.

    Gold 2:
    Miley took the longest doing her homework. She took 50 minutes.
    I know this because a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. 3 quarters of an hour are 45 minutes. The sum is 15 + 15 + 15 = 45, you can also use the sum 15 x 3. She took an extra 5 minutes to finish, so the sum is 45 + 5 = 50.

    Whereas, Ezra took a total of 30 minutes to do his homework. I know this because three lots of ten minutes are thirty minutes. The sum is either 3 x 10 or 10 + 10 + 10, which equals 30. There is another addition sentence, which is 10 + 20 = 30.

    Platinum:
    For the first picture, the hour hand could be on any number, as it won’t make a difference to the minute hand.

    Whereas, for the second picture, the minute hand would be resting on the 6, making the time half past 3.

    The odd one out is C because it doesn’t match any of the clocks.
    2. Jenny is correct because IV is 4 and Kayla is incorrect because she said VIII and that is 8.
    Gold:
    1. 25 minutes + 5 minutes + 35 minutes = 65 minutes

    70 minutes – 65 minutes = 5 minutes
