Explanation:
Let's solve this step by step. We need to match each time on the left to the correct clock on the right.
1.
12:00
- The hour hand should be on 12.
- The minute hand should be on 12.
- Look at the clocks. The first clock shows both hands on 12.
→ So, 12:00 matches the first clock.
2.
5:15
- The hour hand should be just past 5.
- The minute hand should be on 3 (because 15 minutes = 3 on the clock).
- The second clock shows the hour hand at 5 and the minute hand at 3.
→ So, 5:15 matches the second clock.
3.
3:00
- The hour hand should be on 3.
- The minute hand should be on 12.
- The third clock shows the hour hand on 3 and the minute hand on 12.
→ So, 3:00 matches the third clock.
4.
1:30
- The hour hand should be halfway between 1 and 2.
- The minute hand should be on 6 (because 30 minutes = 6 on the clock).
- The fourth clock shows the hour hand between 1 and 2 and the minute hand on 6.
→ So, 1:30 matches the fourth clock.
5.
6:15
- The hour hand should be just past 6.
- The minute hand should be on 3.
- The fifth clock shows the hour hand just past 6 and the minute hand on 3.
→ So, 6:15 matches the fifth clock.
6.
8:30
- The hour hand should be halfway between 8 and 9.
- The minute hand should be on 6.
- The sixth clock shows the hour hand between 8 and 9 and the minute hand on 6.
→ So, 8:30 matches the sixth clock.
7.
12:45
- The hour hand should be close to 1, but not quite there (since 45 minutes is 3/4 of the way to the next hour).
- The minute hand should be on 9 (because 45 minutes = 9 on the clock).
- The seventh clock shows the hour hand near 1 and the minute hand on 9.
→ So, 12:45 matches the seventh clock.
Now, let’s write the correct matches:
- 12:00 → first clock
- 5:15 → second clock
- 3:00 → third clock
- 1:30 → fourth clock
- 6:15 → fifth clock
- 8:30 → sixth clock
- 12:45 → seventh clock
Final Answer:
12:00 → first clock
5:15 → second clock
3:00 → third clock
1:30 → fourth clock
6:15 → fifth clock
8:30 → sixth clock
12:45 → seventh clock
