Answer:

4:46

Explanation:

These are represented as times.

We can pretend as if the clock is going backwards

Time duration between 6:51 and 6:30 is 21 minutes

Time duration between 6:30 and 6:07 is 23 minutes

Time duration between 6:07 and 5:42 is 25 minutes

Time duration between 5:42 and 5:15 is 27 minutes

See the pattern? The time duration increases by 2 minutes at each interval

So the next time duration will be 29 minutes

And 29 minutes before 5:15 is 4:46
