Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time.
We look at two hands:
- The
short hand is the hour hand — it tells us which hour it is.
- The
long hand is the minute hand — each number on the clock means 5 minutes (so if it points to 3, that’s 15 minutes; to 6, that’s 30 minutes, etc.).

First row:
1. Short hand near 11, long hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes →
It’s 11:15
2. Short hand between 8 and 9, long hand on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes →
It’s 8:30
3. Short hand near 11, long hand on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes →
It’s 11:30

Second row:
4. Short hand near 8, long hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes →
It’s 8:45
5. Short hand near 1, long hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes →
It’s 1:15
6. Short hand near 7, long hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes →
It’s 7:45

Third row:
7. Short hand between 10 and 11, long hand on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes →
It’s 10:30
8. Short hand near 3, long hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes →
It’s 3:45
9. Short hand on 5, long hand on 12 → 12 × 5 = 0 minutes →
It’s 5:00

Final Answer:
It’s 11:15
It’s 8:30
It’s 11:30
It’s 8:45
It’s 1:15
It’s 7:45
It’s 10:30
It’s 3:45
It’s 5:00
