To determine the correct time based on the given information: 1. The clock shows **3:45** and is **15 minutes slow**, so the actual time is **4:00** (3:45 + 15 minutes). 2. The additional clue states that the actual time is **a quarter past an hour**, which also corresponds to **4:15** (since a quarter past 4:00 is 4:15). However, combining both pieces: - If the clock is slow by 15 minutes and shows 3:45, the actual time is **4:00**. - But "a quarter past an hour" typically means 15 minutes past the hour (e.g., 4:15). There seems to be a contradiction. Re-evaluating: - If "a quarter past an hour" refers to the next hour (e.g., 15 minutes past the current hour marker), the correct time would be **4:15**. Given the ambiguity, the most precise answer based on the clock being 15 minutes slow (3:45 + 15 minutes) is: **04:00** But if "a quarter past an hour" is a separate clue overriding the first part, the answer is: **04:15** Given the phrasing, the latter interpretation is likely correct. Final answer: **04:15**
