To read the time on these clocks, we look at two hands:
1.
The short hand (hour hand): This tells us the hour. If it is pointing exactly at a number, that is the hour. If it is between two numbers, we use the smaller number (the one it just passed).
2.
The long hand (minute hand): This tells us the minutes.
* When it points to
12, it is
:00 (o'clock).
* When it points to
3, it is
:15 (quarter past).
* When it points to
6, it is
:30 (half past).
* When it points to
9, it is
:45 (quarter to).
Let's solve each clock step-by-step:
Clock 1 (Top Left)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
5.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
3. This means
15 minutes.
*
Time: 5:15
Clock 2 (Top Right)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
9.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
3. This means
15 minutes.
*
Time: 9:15
Clock 3 (Middle Left)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
6.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
3. This means
15 minutes.
*
Time: 6:15
Clock 4 (Middle Right)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
8.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
3. This means
15 minutes.
*
Time: 8:15
Clock 5 (Bottom Left)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
9.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
9. On the minute track, the 9 represents
45 minutes.
*
Time: 9:45
Clock 6 (Bottom Right)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
5.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
9. On the minute track, the 9 represents
45 minutes.
*
Time: 5:45
Final Answer:
5:15
9:15
6:15
8:15
9:45
5:45
