Let's solve this "Telling Time" worksheet step by step. We'll determine the time shown on each clock and write it in the format
hours:minutes.

🔹 How to Read the Clocks:
- The
short hand (hour hand) points to the hour.
- The
long hand (minute hand) points to the minutes.
- Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes (since there are 12 numbers and 60 minutes).
- So, 1 = 5 min, 2 = 10 min, ..., 6 = 30 min, etc.

✔ Now let's go through each clock:
####
Row 1:
1.
Clock 1:
- Hour hand: pointing at
12
- Minute hand: pointing at
3 → 3 × 5 =
15 minutes
→
12:15
2.
Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between
1 and
2, closer to
1
- Minute hand: pointing at
4 → 4 × 5 =
20 minutes
→
1:20
3.
Clock 3:
- Hour hand: between
8 and
9, closer to
8
- Minute hand: pointing at
2 → 2 × 5 =
10 minutes
→
8:10

####
Row 2:
4.
Clock 4:
- Hour hand: pointing at
3
- Minute hand: pointing at
6 → 6 × 5 =
30 minutes
→
3:30
5.
Clock 5:
- Hour hand: pointing at
12
- Minute hand: pointing at
6 → 6 × 5 =
30 minutes
→
12:30
6.
Clock 6:
- Hour hand: between
10 and
11, closer to
10
- Minute hand: pointing at
8 → 8 × 5 =
40 minutes
→
10:40
---
####
Row 3:
7.
Clock 7:
- Hour hand: between
1 and
2, closer to
1
- Minute hand: pointing at
10 → 10 × 5 =
50 minutes
→
1:50
8.
Clock 8:
- Hour hand: between
7 and
8, closer to
7
- Minute hand: pointing at
4 → 4 × 5 =
20 minutes
→
7:20
9.
Clock 9:
- Hour hand: pointing at
5
- Minute hand: pointing at
3 → 3 × 5 =
15 minutes
→
5:15

✔ Final Answers:
| Clock | Time |
|-------|----------|
| 1 | 12:15 |
| 2 | 1:20 |
| 3 | 8:10 |
| 4 | 3:30 |
| 5 | 12:30 |
| 6 | 10:40 |
| 7 | 1:50 |
| 8 | 7:20 |
| 9 | 5:15 |

📝 Write these times below each clock:
```
12:15 1:20 8:10
3:30 12:30 10:40
1:50 7:20 5:15
```

✔ Explanation Summary:
We read the hour from the short hand and the minutes from the long hand using the rule that each number is 5 minutes. Always check if the hour hand has passed the number or not.
