To tell the time on an analog clock, we look at two hands:
1.
The Hour Hand: The shorter hand. It tells us the hour. If it is pointing directly 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 Minute Hand: The longer hand. It tells us the minutes. We start at 12 and count by 5s for each big number (1 is 5, 2 is 10, 3 is 15, etc.). Then we count by 1s for the small tick marks to get the exact minute.
Let's solve each clock step-by-step:
Clock 1 (Top Left)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
11. So, the hour is 11.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
10. Counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45,
50. So, the minutes are 50.
*
Time: 11:50
Clock 2 (Top Right)
*
Hour Hand: Points between 4 and 5. It has passed 4 but not reached 5 yet. So, the hour is
4.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
5. Counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20,
25. So, the minutes are 25.
*
Time: 4:25
Clock 3 (Middle Left)
*
Hour Hand: Points between 1 and 2. It has passed 1. So, the hour is
1.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
2. Counting by 5s: 5,
10. So, the minutes are 10.
*
Time: 1:10
Clock 4 (Middle Right)
*
Hour Hand: Points between 9 and 10. It has passed 9. So, the hour is
9.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
4. Counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15,
20. So, the minutes are 20.
*
Time: 9:20
Clock 5 (Bottom Left)
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at
7. So, the hour is 7.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
12. This means
00 minutes.
*
Time: 7:00
Clock 6 (Bottom Right)
*
Hour Hand: Points between 2 and 3. It has passed 2. So, the hour is
2.
*
Minute Hand: Points directly at
6. Counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,
30. So, the minutes are 30.
*
Time: 2:30
Final Answer:
11:50
4:25
1:10
9:20
7:00
2:30
