Let’s go through each clock one by one. We’ll look at the hour hand (shorter) and minute hand (longer) to figure out the time.
Remember:
- The hour hand tells us which hour it is.
- The minute hand points to numbers that represent 5-minute intervals. So if it points to 6, that’s 30 minutes (because 6 × 5 = 30).
- If the minute hand is on 12, it’s “o’clock” — meaning 00 minutes.

Row 1:
1a.
Hour hand is between 3 and 4 → so it’s 3 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes.
→ Time:
3:30
1b.
Hour hand is just past 6 → so it’s 6 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→ Time:
6:30
1c.
Hour hand is between 5 and 6 → so it’s 5 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→ Time:
5:30
---
Row 2:
2a.
Hour hand is just past 12 → so it’s 12 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→ Time:
12:30
2b.
Hour hand is between 7 and 8 → so it’s 7 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→ Time:
7:30
2c.
Hour hand is pointing right at 2 → so it’s 2 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 00 minutes.
→ Time:
2:00
---
Row 3:
3a.
Hour hand is pointing right at 8 → so it’s 8 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 00 minutes.
→ Time:
8:00
3b.
Hour hand is between 2 and 3 → so it’s 2 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→ Time:
2:30
3c.
Hour hand is pointing right at 9 → so it’s 9 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 00 minutes.
→ Time:
9:00
---
Row 4:
4a.
Hour hand is pointing right at 12 → so it’s 12 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 00 minutes.
→ Time:
12:00
4b.
Hour hand is between 8 and 9 → so it’s 8 o’clock something.
Minute hand is on 6 → 30 minutes.
→ Time:
8:30
4c.
Hour hand is pointing right at 3 → so it’s 3 o’clock.
Minute hand is on 12 → 00 minutes.
→ Time:
3:00

Final Answer:
1a. 3:30
1b. 6:30
1c. 5:30
2a. 12:30
2b. 7:30
2c. 2:00
3a. 8:00
3b. 2:30
3c. 9:00
4a. 12:00
4b. 8:30
4c. 3:00
