To solve this problem, we need to draw the hour hand (the short one) and the minute hand (the long one) on each clock face to match the digital time shown below it.
Here is the step-by-step logic for each clock:
How to read the hands:
*
Minute Hand (Long): Points to the minutes. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes (1 is 5, 2 is 10, etc.).
*
Hour Hand (Short): Points to the hour. If the minutes are past 30, the hour hand moves halfway toward the next number.

Row 1:
1.
Time: 1:55
*
Minutes: 55 minutes. $55 \div 5 = 11$. The long hand points exactly at
11.
*
Hours: It is almost 2:00. The short hand should be very close to
2, but not quite there yet.
2.
Time: 3:55
*
Minutes: 55 minutes. The long hand points exactly at
11.
*
Hours: It is almost 4:00. The short hand should be very close to
4.
3.
Time: 1:50
*
Minutes: 50 minutes. $50 \div 5 = 10$. The long hand points exactly at
10.
*
Hours: It is almost 2:00. The short hand should be close to
2.

Row 2:
4.
Time: 8:30
*
Minutes: 30 minutes. The long hand points exactly at
6.
*
Hours: Half-past 8. The short hand should be exactly halfway between
8 and
9.
5.
Time: 12:10
*
Minutes: 10 minutes. $10 \div 5 = 2$. The long hand points exactly at
2.
*
Hours: Just past 12. The short hand should be just a little bit past
12.
6.
Time: 5:50
*
Minutes: 50 minutes. The long hand points exactly at
10.
*
Hours: Almost 6:00. The short hand should be very close to
6.
---
Row 3:
7.
Time: 12:40
*
Minutes: 40 minutes. $40 \div 5 = 8$. The long hand points exactly at
8.
*
Hours: Past 12, getting close to 1. The short hand should be more than halfway from
12 toward
1.
8.
Time: 10:40
*
Minutes: 40 minutes. The long hand points exactly at
8.
*
Hours: Past 10, getting close to 11. The short hand should be more than halfway from
10 toward
11.
9.
Time: 5:35
*
Minutes: 35 minutes. $35 \div 5 = 7$. The long hand points exactly at
7.
*
Hours: Past 5. The short hand should be slightly less than halfway between
5 and
6.
Final Answer:
Here are the instructions for drawing the hands on each clock:
Top Row:
*
1:55: Long hand on
11, Short hand nearly on
2.
*
3:55: Long hand on
11, Short hand nearly on
4.
*
1:50: Long hand on
10, Short hand nearly on
2.
Middle Row:
*
8:30: Long hand on
6, Short hand halfway between
8 and
9.
*
12:10: Long hand on
2, Short hand just past
12.
*
5:50: Long hand on
10, Short hand nearly on
6.
Bottom Row:
*
12:40: Long hand on
8, Short hand closer to
1 than
12.
*
10:40: Long hand on
8, Short hand closer to
11 than
10.
*
5:35: Long hand on
7, Short hand between
5 and
6 (just under halfway).
