Let’s go through each clock one by one and read the time to the nearest 5 minutes.
Remember:
- The short hand is the hour hand.
- The long hand is the minute hand.
- Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes (so 1 = 5 min, 2 = 10 min, ..., 12 = 0 or 60 min).
- We round to the nearest 5-minute mark.
---
Clock 1:
- Hour hand: just past 1 → so it’s 1 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 10 → that’s 50 minutes.
→ Time:
1:50
Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → so it’s 7 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 7 → that’s 35 minutes.
→ Time:
7:35
Clock 3:
- Hour hand: between 8 and 9 → so it’s 8 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → that’s 30 minutes.
→ Time:
8:30
Clock 4:
- Hour hand: between 1 and 2 → so it’s 1 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 8 → that’s 40 minutes.
→ Time:
1:40
Clock 5:
- Hour hand: between 5 and 6 → so it’s 5 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → that’s 30 minutes.
→ Time:
5:30
Clock 6:
- Hour hand: just past 12 → so it’s 12 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 1 → that’s 5 minutes.
→ Time:
12:05
Clock 7:
- Hour hand: pointing at 7 → exactly 7.
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → that’s 0 minutes.
→ Time:
7:00
Clock 8:
- Hour hand: between 6 and 7 → so it’s 6 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 7 → that’s 35 minutes.
→ Time:
6:35
Clock 9:
- Hour hand: just past 12 → so it’s 12 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 11 → that’s 55 minutes.
→ Time:
12:55
Clock 10:
- Hour hand: between 8 and 9 → so it’s 8 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 9 → that’s 45 minutes.
→ Time:
8:45
Clock 11:
- Hour hand: just before 11 → so it’s 10 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 11 → that’s 55 minutes.
→ Time:
10:55
Clock 12:
- Hour hand: between 1 and 2 → so it’s 1 o’clock something.
- Minute hand: pointing at 5 → that’s 25 minutes.
→ Time:
1:25
