could be the time on a clock
(15:40 = 3:40 pm)
could be a ratio
(15:40 - ratio of 15 to 40)
could be the time something, like a race, was completed
(15 hours, 40 minutes)
Without knowing where it's appearing, or what the rest of the question says, we can't tell you for sure.

It's 3:40 p.m. The 15:40 is "miltary time", also widely used in Europe. Subtract 12 to get the answer.

It could be the hour, like everyone above said, or it could be a form of writing a fraction (used to express ratios). In that case, it is the same as 15/40 or 3/8.

Instead of having AM and PM, you simply keep adding after 12 o'clock:
9... 10... 11... 12... 13... 14... 15
So, what would have been 3:40 PM is now 1540H, or 15:40

well either its a time aka 3:40 pm, or it's a ratio meaning to every 15 of one part there are 40 of another part.
