Final answer:

When telling time in Spanish, '15 minutes to the hour' is typically expressed using 'cuarto.' For example, 12:45 would be 'la una menos cuarto'. The time calculation review includes correctly adding minutes and seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express 15 minutes to the hour, you would usually use cuarto rather than quince in Spanish speaking countries. When telling time in Spanish, 15 minutes past the hour is often said as 'y cuarto', for example, 1:15 would be 'la una y cuarto', and respectively, 15 minutes before the hour, as in, 'menos cuarto', for example, 12:45 would be 'la una menos cuarto'.

As for the review exercises you mentioned:

  1. 15 minutes + 60 minutes = 75 minutes, which is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  2. 10 minutes + 20 minutes = 30 minutes.
  3. 15 seconds + 45 seconds = 60 seconds, which is 1 minute.
