Question

It seemed like the graduation speech would last forever. Tyler leaned over to his father and asked in a discreet whisper, ''What time is it now?'' His father told him it was one-fourth of an hour after the last time he asked. If it was 1:15 p.m. the last time he asked, what time is it now?

Answer 1

1:30 pm

Explanation:

1/4 of an hour is 1/4 of 60 minutes, or 15 minutes

15 minutes past 1:15 would be 1:30 pm
