It is 3:15. This way of telling time is very easy for those of us who learned about time when the circular analog clocks were all we had. For those whose experience extends mostly or only to digital clocks, phrases like 'quarter passed', 'half passed', and 'a quarter to' have virtually no meaning.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! "Quarter to 6" in digital time is 5:45. Just imagine a clock with numbers, and when the big hand is on the 9 and the little hand is on the 12, that's 5:45. Keep painting those time pictures in your mind, and you'll never be late again!
