Let’s solve 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 points to the hour.
- The minute hand points to minutes — each number on the clock = 5 minutes.
- If the minute hand is on 12, it’s :00. On 3, it’s :15. On 6, it’s :30. On 9, it’s :45.

Top Row:
1.
Green clock (top left)
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → so it’s 3 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
→ Time:
3:15
2.
Red clock (top middle)
Hour hand just past 12 → so it’s 12 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
→ Time:
12:45
3.
Yellow clock (top right)
Hour hand between 4 and 5 → so it’s 4 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
→ Time:
4:15

Middle Row:
4.
Red clock (middle left)
Hour hand between 10 and 11 → so it’s 10 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
→ Time:
10:45
5.
Green clock (middle center)
Hour hand between 8 and 9 → so it’s 8 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
→ Time:
8:15
6.
Yellow clock (middle right)
Hour hand between 5 and 6 → so it’s 5 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
→ Time:
5:45

Bottom Row:
7.
Yellow clock (bottom left)
Hour hand between 1 and 2 → so it’s 1 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes.
→ Time:
1:30
8.
Green clock (bottom center)
Hour hand between 7 and 8 → so it’s 7 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
→ Time:
7:15
9.
Red clock (bottom right)
Hour hand between 2 and 3 → so it’s 2 o’clock something.
Minute hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
→ Time:
2:45
