Let’s solve each clock problem step by step. We’ll read the time on each clock first, then answer the questions about what time it will be in the future or was in the past.

First Clock:
The hour hand is pointing at 8, and the minute hand is pointing at 12 → That means it’s
8:00.
Now let’s answer the questions:
1. What time is it? →
8:00
2. In 3 hours: 8 + 3 = 11 →
11:00
3. In 10 minutes: 8:00 + 10 min =
8:10
4. 30 minutes ago: 8:00 - 30 min = 7:30 →
7:30
✔ Checked: All correct.

Second Clock:
Hour hand is between 9 and 10, closer to 9 → so it’s 9 o’clock something.
Minute hand is pointing at 6 → that’s 30 minutes (because 6 × 5 = 30).
So the time is
9:30.
Questions:
1. What time is it? →
9:30
2. In 5 minutes: 9:30 + 5 =
9:35
3. In 4 hours: 9 + 4 = 13 → but we use 12-hour clock, so 13 - 12 = 1 →
1:30
*(Note: Since no AM/PM is specified, we just add normally — 9:30 + 4 hrs = 1:30)*
4. 10 minutes ago: 9:30 - 10 min =
9:20
✔ Checked: All correct.

Third Clock:
Hour hand is pointing at 10, minute hand at 12 →
10:00
Questions:
1. What time is it? →
10:00
2. In 25 minutes: 10:00 + 25 =
10:25
3. In 6 hours: 10 + 6 = 16 → 16 - 12 = 4 →
4:00
4. 15 minutes ago: 10:00 - 15 = 9:45 →
9:45
✔ Checked: All correct.
