To solve this problem, we need to read the time shown on each analog clock and write it in digital format (like 2:00).
Here’s how to read an analog clock:
- The short hand is the hour hand. It tells you what hour it is.
- The long hand is the minute hand. When it points to 12, it means “o’clock” — so 00 minutes.
- So if the hour hand is pointing at a number and the minute hand is at 12, the time is that number followed by :00.
Let’s go one clock at a time:
Clock 1 (top left):
Hour hand → 2
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 2:00
Clock 2 (top middle):
Hour hand → 5
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 5:00
Clock 3 (top right):
Hour hand → 9
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 9:00
Clock 4 (middle left):
Hour hand → 11
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 11:00
Clock 5 (middle center):
Hour hand → 8
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 8:00
Clock 6 (middle right):
Hour hand → 6
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 6:00
Clock 7 (bottom left):
Hour hand → 4
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 4:00
Clock 8 (bottom center):
Hour hand → 12
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 12:00
Clock 9 (bottom right):
Hour hand → 12
Minute hand → 12
→ Time = 12:00
All clocks show exact hours with the minute hand on 12, so all are “__:00”.
Final Answer:
2:00, 5:00, 9:00, 11:00, 8:00, 6:00, 4:00, 12:00, 12:00
