Let’s go step by step to read each clock correctly.
Remember:
- The
short hand (hour hand) tells us the hour.
- The
long hand (minute hand) tells us the minutes.
- Each number on the clock = 5 minutes for the minute hand.
- So, if the long hand points at 3 → 15 minutes
- Points at 6 → 30 minutes
- Points at 9 → 45 minutes
- Points at 12 → 00 minutes

Clock 1:
- Hour hand: pointing at 12
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes
→ Time:
12:15
Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between 10 and 11 → it’s 10 o’clock something
- Minute hand: pointing at 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes
→ Time:
10:45
Clock 3:
- Hour hand: just past 2 → so 2 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 5 → 5 × 5 = 25 minutes
→ Time:
2:25
Clock 4:
- Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → 7 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 5 → 25 minutes
→ Time:
7:25
Clock 5:
- Hour hand: halfway between 9 and 10 → still 9 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Time:
9:30
Clock 6:
- Hour hand: just past 2 → 2 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Time:
2:15
Clock 7:
- Hour hand: between 4 and 5 → 4 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Time:
4:15
Clock 8:
- Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → 7 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 4 → 4 × 5 = 20 minutes
→ Time:
7:20
Clock 9:
- Hour hand: between 1 and 2 → 1 o’clock
- Minute hand: pointing at 8 → 8 × 5 = 40 minutes
→ Time:
1:40
