Let’s go through each clock one by one and read the time carefully.
We know:
- The
short hand is the
hour hand.
- The
long hand is the
minute hand.
- Each number on the clock = 5 minutes (so if the minute hand points to 6, that’s 30 minutes).
---
Clock 1:
- Hour hand is between 3 and 4 → so it’s 3 o’clock something.
- Minute hand points to 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes.
→ Time:
3:30
Clock 2:
- Hour hand is just before 6 → so it’s 5 o’clock something.
- Minute hand points to 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
→ Time:
5:45
Clock 3:
- Hour hand is between 3 and 4 → 3 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 5 → 5 × 5 = 25 minutes.
→ Time:
3:25
Clock 4:
- Hour hand is just past 7 → 7 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 2 → 2 × 5 = 10 minutes.
→ Time:
7:10
Clock 5:
- Hour hand is between 12 and 1 → 12 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 8 → 8 × 5 = 40 minutes.
→ Time:
12:40
Clock 6:
- Hour hand is between 4 and 5 → 4 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 7 → 7 × 5 = 35 minutes.
→ Time:
4:35
Clock 7:
- Hour hand is between 5 and 6 → 5 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 4 → 4 × 5 = 20 minutes.
→ Time:
5:20
Clock 8:
- Hour hand is between 12 and 1 → 12 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 10 → 10 × 5 = 50 minutes.
→ Time:
12:50
Clock 9:
- Hour hand is between 6 and 7 → 6 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 minutes.
→ Time:
6:55
Clock 10:
- Hour hand is between 3 and 4 → 3 o’clock.
- Minute hand points to 8 → 8 × 5 = 40 minutes.
→ Time:
3:40
