To read an analog clock, we look at two hands:
1.
The short hand is the hour hand. It tells us the hour.
2.
The long hand is the minute hand. When it points straight up to the 12, it means "o'clock" (00 minutes).
So, for every clock on this page, the long hand is on the 12. This means we just need to see which number the short hand is pointing to. That number is the time.
Let's go through them row by row, from left to right.
Row 1:
*
Clock 1: The short hand points to 9. Time:
9:00
*
Clock 2: The short hand points to 1. Time:
1:00
*
Clock 3: The short hand points to 3. Time:
3:00
Row 2:
*
Clock 4: The short hand points to 5. Time:
5:00
*
Clock 5: The short hand points to 8. Time:
8:00
*
Clock 6: The short hand points to 4. Time:
4:00
Row 3:
*
Clock 7: The short hand points to 11. Time:
11:00
*
Clock 8: The short hand points to 2. Time:
2:00
*
Clock 9: The short hand points to 7. Time:
7:00
Final Answer:
9:00, 1:00, 3:00
5:00, 8:00, 4:00
11:00, 2:00, 7:00
