Question

contesta con palabras. son las ____ menos ____ .

Explanation:

To tell time in Spanish using the "menos" (minus) structure, we first determine the next hour. 7:45 is 15 minutes before 8:00. In Spanish, when using "menos", we say the next hour and then the minutes to subtract. The next hour after 7:45 is 8 (ocho), and the minutes to subtract are 15 (quince). So we fill in the first blank with the next hour (ocho) and the second with the minutes (quince).

Answer:

First blank: ocho
Second blank: quince
