Let’s solve each clock one by one.
We look at the hour hand (shorter) and minute hand (longer).
---
1 a.
Hour hand is between 1 and 2 → so it’s 1 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → that means 30 minutes.
→
1:30
1 b.
Hour hand is between 7 and 8 → so it’s 7 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→
7:30
---
2 a.
Hour hand is pointing exactly at 4 → so it’s 4 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 0 minutes.
→
4:00
2 b.
Hour hand is between 6 and 7 → so it’s 6 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→
6:30
---
3 a.
Hour hand is pointing exactly at 12 → so it’s 12 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 0 minutes.
→
12:00
3 b.
Hour hand is between 5 and 6 → so it’s 5 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→
5:30
---
Final Answer:
1 a. 1:30
1 b. 7:30
2 a. 4:00
2 b. 6:30
3 a. 12:00
3 b. 5:30
