To solve this task, we need to read the time shown on each of the nine clocks. Each clock has an hour hand (the shorter one) and a minute hand (the longer one). We will go row by row, from left to right.
Row 1:
1.
Clock 1: The short hour hand is pointing exactly at 12. The long minute hand is pointing exactly at 3. Since the minute hand is at 3, it represents 15 minutes past the hour. So, the time is
12:15.
2.
Clock 2: The short hour hand is between 1 and 2, but closer to 1. The long minute hand is pointing at 4. The number 4 represents 20 minutes (4 x 5 = 20). So, the time is
1:20.
3.
Clock 3: The short hour hand is between 9 and 10, just past 9. The long minute hand is pointing at 2. The number 2 represents 10 minutes (2 x 5 = 10). So, the time is
9:10.
Row 2:
4.
Clock 4: The short hour hand is between 6 and 7, halfway through. The long minute hand is pointing at 3. The number 3 represents 15 minutes. So, the time is
6:15.
5.
Clock 5: The short hour hand is pointing exactly at 6. The long minute hand is pointing exactly at 12. When the minute hand is at 12, it is "o'clock". So, the time is
6:00.
6.
Clock 6: The short hour hand is between 10 and 11, closer to 11. The long minute hand is pointing at 8. The number 8 represents 40 minutes (8 x 5 = 40). So, the time is
10:40.
Row 3:
7.
Clock 7: The short hour hand is between 12 and 1, very close to 1. The long minute hand is pointing at 10. The number 10 represents 50 minutes (10 x 5 = 50). So, the time is
12:50.
8.
Clock 8: The short hour hand is between 7 and 8, closer to 8. The long minute hand is pointing at 4. The number 4 represents 20 minutes. So, the time is
7:20.
9.
Clock 9: The short hour hand is between 5 and 6, closer to 6. The long minute hand is pointing at 3. The number 3 represents 15 minutes. So, the time is
5:15.
Final Answer:
12:15, 1:20, 9:10, 6:15, 6:00, 10:40, 12:50, 7:20, 5:15
