To draw the time on each clock, remember these rules:
1.
The Hour Hand (short hand): Points to the hour number. If the minutes are past 30, it moves halfway toward the next number.
2.
The Minute Hand (long hand): Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. So, 1 is 5 minutes, 2 is 10 minutes, 3 is 15 minutes, and so on.
Here is how to set each clock:
1. 11:15 am
*
Hour Hand: Point just past the
11.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
3 (because $3 \times 5 = 15$).
2. 7:20 pm
*
Hour Hand: Point a little bit past the
7.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
4 (because $4 \times 5 = 20$).
3. 4:05 am
*
Hour Hand: Point just barely past the
4.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
1 (because $1 \times 5 = 5$).
4. 8:45 pm
*
Hour Hand: Point almost at the
9 (it should be very close to 9 because 45 minutes is nearly an hour).
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
9 (because $9 \times 5 = 45$).
5. 1:35 pm
*
Hour Hand: Point more than halfway between the
1 and the
2.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
7 (because $7 \times 5 = 35$).
6. 2:30 am
*
Hour Hand: Point exactly halfway between the
2 and the
3.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
6 (because $6 \times 5 = 30$).
7. 9:15 pm
*
Hour Hand: Point just past the
9.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
3 (because $3 \times 5 = 15$).
8. 8:40 am
*
Hour Hand: Point closer to the
9 than the 8 (about two-thirds of the way there).
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
8 (because $8 \times 5 = 40$).
9. 3:30 pm
*
Hour Hand: Point exactly halfway between the
3 and the
4.
*
Minute Hand: Point exactly at the
6 (because $6 \times 5 = 30$).
Final Answer:
Clock 1 (11:15): Short hand past 11, Long hand on 3.
Clock 2 (7:20): Short hand past 7, Long hand on 4.
Clock 3 (4:05): Short hand past 4, Long hand on 1.
Clock 4 (8:45): Short hand near 9, Long hand on 9.
Clock 5 (1:35): Short hand between 1 and 2, Long hand on 7.
Clock 6 (2:30): Short hand between 2 and 3, Long hand on 6.
Clock 7 (9:15): Short hand past 9, Long hand on 3.
Clock 8 (8:40): Short hand near 9, Long hand on 8.
Clock 9 (3:30): Short hand between 3 and 4, Long hand on 6.
