Let’s go through each clock one by one. We need to draw the hour and minute hands based on the time given below each clock.

Remember:
- The minute hand (longer hand) points to the number that shows how many minutes past the hour. Since we’re working in 5-minute intervals, each number on the clock = 5 minutes.
- Example: If it’s 2:05, the minute hand points to “1” because 1 × 5 = 5 minutes.
- The hour hand (shorter hand) points to the hour — but if there are minutes past the hour, it should be a little bit past the hour number.

Let’s solve each:

1. 2:05
- Minute hand: 5 minutes → point to “1”
- Hour hand: just a tiny bit past “2”

2. 9:20
- Minute hand: 20 minutes → 20 ÷ 5 = 4 → point to “4”
- Hour hand: between “9” and “10”, closer to “9” since only 20 mins have passed

3. 4:00
- Minute hand: 0 minutes → point to “12”
- Hour hand: exactly on “4”

4. 3:25
- Minute hand: 25 minutes → 25 ÷ 5 = 5 → point to “5”
- Hour hand: halfway between “3” and “4” (since 25 is half of 60)

5. 11:00
- Minute hand: point to “12”
- Hour hand: exactly on “11”

6. 3:55
- Minute hand: 55 minutes → 55 ÷ 5 = 11 → point to “11”
- Hour hand: almost at “4”, but still very close to “3” — actually, since 55 mins is almost an hour, it should be just before “4”

Wait — let me double-check #6:
At 3:55, the hour hand is *very* close to 4, but not quite there. So yes — draw it just before “4”.

7. 8:00
- Minute hand: “12”
- Hour hand: exactly on “8”

8. 2:55
- Minute hand: 55 → point to “11”
- Hour hand: almost at “3”, but still near “2” — so draw it just before “3”

9. 2:50
- Minute hand: 50 ÷ 5 = 10 → point to “10”
- Hour hand: between “2” and “3”, closer to “3” because 50 mins is almost the full hour

Now, let’s write down where each hand goes for final answer:

Final Answer:
1. Hour hand: slightly past 2; Minute hand: on 1
2. Hour hand: between 9 and 10 (closer to 9); Minute hand: on 4
3. Hour hand: on 4; Minute hand: on 12
4. Hour hand: halfway between 3 and 4; Minute hand: on 5
5. Hour hand: on 11; Minute hand: on 12
6. Hour hand: just before 4; Minute hand: on 11
7. Hour hand: on 8; Minute hand: on 12
8. Hour hand: just before 3; Minute hand: on 11
9. Hour hand: closer to 3 than 2; Minute hand: on 10
