15 minutes before noon is 11:45 AM. This is because there are 60 minutes in an hour, so subtracting 15 minutes from 12:00 PM gives you 11:45 AM. This calculation involves basic arithmetic and understanding of the 12-hour clock system commonly used in the United States.
Between 8 am and Noon are 4 hours = 240 minutes. Let T = 240 - x, and T - 60 = 3*x. Where T is right now, T-60 is one hour ago, and x is the number of minutes before noon, and 3*x is the number of minutes after 8am. Substitute the first equation into the second & solve for x: 240 - x - 60 = 3*x --> 180 = 4*x --> x = 45, So it is 45 minutes before noon (11:15), and 1 hour ago (10:15) it was 2 hrs 15 minutes after 8 am (135 minutes), and yes 135 is 3 times 45, so it works.
24 minutes before noon, or the current time is 11:38am.

Oh, dude, 20 minutes before noon is like 11:40 AM. It's not rocket science, just subtract 20 minutes from 12:00 PM and you get the answer. Easy peasy, right?
