Let’s solve each clock problem step by step. We’ll read the time on each clock first, then add or subtract minutes and hours as asked.

---

First Clock:

- The hour hand is just past 9 → so it’s 9 o’clock.
- The minute hand points to 1 → that’s 5 minutes (since each number = 5 minutes).
→ So current time: 9:05

Now answer the questions:

1. What time will it be in 5 minutes?
9:05 + 5 min = 9:10

2. What time will it be in 2 hours?
9:05 + 2 hours = 11:05

3. What time was it 20 minutes ago?
9:05 - 20 min → go back 5 min to 9:00, then 15 more min → 8:45
→ 8:45

Second Clock:

- Hour hand between 7 and 8 → so 7 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
→ Current time: 7:15

Questions:

1. In 30 minutes?
7:15 + 30 min = 7:45

2. In 3 hours?
7:15 + 3 hours = 10:15

3. 15 minutes ago?
7:15 - 15 min = 7:00

---

Third Clock:

- Hour hand between 2 and 3 → 2 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 7 → 7 × 5 = 35 minutes.
→ Current time: 2:35

Questions:

1. In 15 minutes?
2:35 + 15 min = 2:50 → 2:50

2. In 1 hour?
2:35 + 1 hour = 3:35

3. 30 minutes ago?
2:35 - 30 min = 2:05

---

Fourth Clock:

- Hour hand near 6 but not quite — actually pointing at 5? Wait, let’s check again.

Wait — looking carefully:

Hour hand is between 5 and 6, closer to 6? Actually, no — if minute hand is at 11, that’s 55 minutes, so hour hand should be almost at next hour.

Minute hand at 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 minutes.

Hour hand: since it’s 55 minutes past, it should be very close to 6 — but still in the 5 o’clock hour.

So current time: 5:55

Questions:

1. In 10 minutes?
5:55 + 10 min = 6:05 → 6:05

2. In 2 hours?
5:55 + 2 hours = 7:55

3. 20 minutes ago?
5:55 - 20 min = 5:35 → 5:35
