To solve this task, we need to draw the hour and minute hands on each clock face to match the time written below it.
Let’s go step by step for each clock:
---
Clock 1: 10:00
- The minute hand (longer hand) points to 12 (because 00 minutes = top of the clock).
- The hour hand (shorter hand) points to 10.
→ Draw short hand at 10, long hand at 12.
---
Clock 2: 7:40
- Minute hand: 40 minutes = 8 on the clock (since each number = 5 minutes → 40 ÷ 5 = 8). So point long hand at 8.
- Hour hand: It’s past 7, but not yet 8. Since 40 minutes is 2/3 of the way to the next hour, the hour hand should be closer to 8 than to 7 — about 2/3 of the way from 7 to 8.
→ Draw long hand at 8, short hand between 7 and 8, closer to 8.
---
Clock 3: 1:40
- Minute hand: 40 minutes → point to 8.
- Hour hand: Past 1, going toward 2. At 40 minutes, it’s 2/3 of the way from 1 to 2.
→ Draw long hand at 8, short hand between 1 and 2, closer to 2.
---
Clock 4: 8:00
- Minute hand: 00 → point to 12.
- Hour hand: Point to 8.
→ Short hand at 8, long hand at 12.
---
Clock 5: 8:20
- Minute hand: 20 minutes → 20 ÷ 5 = 4 → point to 4.
- Hour hand: Past 8, moving toward 9. 20 minutes is 1/3 of the way to the next hour → so short hand is 1/3 of the way from 8 to 9.
→ Long hand at 4, short hand just past 8.
---
Clock 6: 3:20
- Minute hand: 20 → point to 4.
- Hour hand: Past 3, 1/3 of the way to 4.
→ Long hand at 4, short hand just past 3.
---
Clock 7: 5:40
- Minute hand: 40 → point to 8.
- Hour hand: Past 5, 2/3 of the way to 6.
→ Long hand at 8, short hand between 5 and 6, closer to 6.
---
Clock 8: 2:40
- Minute hand: 40 → point to 8.
- Hour hand: Past 2, 2/3 of the way to 3.
→ Long hand at 8, short hand between 2 and 3, closer to 3.
---
Clock 9: 7:20
- Minute hand: 20 → point to 4.
- Hour hand: Past 7, 1/3 of the way to 8.
→ Long hand at 4, short hand just past 7.

✔ All times are now correctly matched with hand positions.
Final Answer:
Draw the hands as described above for each clock to show the correct time.
