Let’s look at each clock and match it to the correct time shown in numbers and words.
---
First card:
- The clock shows the hour hand pointing at 1, and the minute hand pointing at 12.
- That means it’s exactly
1:00.
- In words, we say “one o’clock”.
✔ Matches: 1:00 → one o’clock
---
Second card:
- The hour hand is just past 1, and the minute hand is on 3.
- Each number on the clock = 5 minutes. So 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
- That means it’s
1:15.
- We also call this “quarter past one” because 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour.
✔ Matches: 1:15 → quarter past one
---
Third card:
- The hour hand is halfway between 1 and 2, and the minute hand is on 6.
- 6 × 5 = 30 minutes.
- So it’s
1:30.
- We say “half past one” because 30 minutes is half an hour.
✔ Matches: 1:30 → half past one
---
Fourth card:
- The hour hand is close to 2 (but not there yet), and the minute hand is on 9.
- 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
- So it’s
1:45.
- Since 45 minutes is 15 minutes before 2 o’clock, we say “quarter to two”.
✔ Matches: 1:45 → quarter to two
---
All four cards are correctly matched!
Final Answer:
The times are correctly paired as:
1:00 → one o’clock
1:15 → quarter past one
1:30 → half past one
1:45 → quarter to two
