Printable math worksheet for practicing reading analog clocks and calculating elapsed time.

Let’s solve each clock pair step by step.

---

First Pair:

Clock A:
Hour hand is between 3 and 4 → it’s 3 o’clock something.
Minute hand points to 2 → that’s 10 minutes (because each number = 5 minutes: 2 × 5 = 10).
→ Clock A shows 3:10

Clock B:
Hour hand is just before 12 → almost 12, but not quite. Since minute hand is at 9 (which is 45 minutes), the hour hand should be close to 12 — so it’s 11:45? Wait — let’s check again.

Actually, looking carefully:

In Clock B:
Hour hand is pointing near 12, but slightly before — and minute hand is on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
So if minute hand is at 45, and hour hand is near 12, that means it’s 11:45, because at 12:00 the hour hand would be exactly on 12. But here it’s a bit before — so yes, 11:45.

Wait — actually, in many analog clocks, when the minute hand is at 45, the hour hand has moved 3/4 of the way from 11 to 12. So yes, 11:45.

But wait — let me double-check the image description mentally:

User said: “Clock B” in first row: hour hand near 12, minute hand on 9 → that’s 11:45.

Now, elapsed time from 3:10 to 11:45?

That’s too long — probably I misread.

Wait — maybe Clock B is 12:45? No — hour hand can’t be near 12 for 12:45 — it would be halfway between 12 and 1.

Actually, let’s re-analyze with standard rules:

Each number on clock = 5 minutes for minute hand.

For hour hand: if minute hand is past 12, hour hand moves toward next hour.

In Clock A:
Minute hand on 2 → 10 min
Hour hand just past 3 → so 3:10 ✔️

Clock B:
Minute hand on 9 → 45 min
Hour hand is very close to 12 — but since minute hand is at 45, which is 3/4 of the way around, the hour hand should be 3/4 of the way from 11 to 12 → so it’s 11:45

Elapsed time from 3:10 to 11:45:

From 3:10 to 11:10 is 8 hours
Then from 11:10 to 11:45 is 35 minutes
Total: 8 hours 35 minutes

But that seems too long for a worksheet problem — maybe I have Clock B wrong.

Wait — perhaps Clock B is 12:45? Let’s think: if hour hand is near 12 and minute hand on 9, could it be 12:45?

At 12:45, the hour hand should be 3/4 of the way from 12 to 1 — so it would be closer to 1 than to 12. But user says “hour hand near 12” — so likely it’s 11:45.

Alternatively — maybe the clock is drawn with hour hand pointing at 12 even though it’s 11:45? That’s common in simplified worksheets.

But let’s look at second pair to see pattern.

---

Second Pair:

Clock A:
Minute hand on 12 → 00
Hour hand on 10 → 10:00

Clock B:
Minute hand on 9 → 45
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → so 3:45

Elapsed time from 10:00 to 3:45? That’s overnight or next day? Probably not — maybe AM to PM? But worksheet doesn’t specify.

Wait — perhaps we assume same day, and times are within 12 hours.

From 10:00 to 3:45 is 5 hours 45 minutes? But 10 to 12 is 2h, 12 to 3 is 3h, plus 45min → total 5h45m.

But again, seems long.

Perhaps I’m misreading Clock B.

User said: “Clock B” in second row: minute hand on 9, hour hand between 3 and 4 → yes, 3:45.

But maybe the worksheet intends for us to calculate forward time without crossing noon/midnight? Or perhaps some clocks are PM?

This is confusing. Let me try a different approach — maybe all times are within a few hours.

Look at third pair:

Clock A:
Minute hand on 4 → 20 min
Hour hand between 10 and 11 → so 10:20

Clock B:
Minute hand on 5 → 25 min
Hour hand just past 12 → so 12:25

Elapsed: 10:20 to 12:25 = 2 hours 5 minutes — reasonable.

Fourth pair:

Clock A:
Minute hand on 2 → 10 min
Hour hand between 7 and 8 → 7:10

Clock B:
Minute hand on 11 → 55 min
Hour hand near 9 → so 8:55? Because at 8:55, hour hand is almost at 9.

Yes — 8:55.

Elapsed: 7:10 to 8:55 = 1 hour 45 minutes.

Okay, now back to first pair.

Perhaps in first pair, Clock B is 12:45? Let’s assume that for consistency.

If Clock A is 3:10, Clock B is 12:45 — then elapsed time is from 3:10 to 12:45.

From 3:10 to 12:10 is 9 hours, plus 35 min → 9h35m — still long.

Maybe Clock B is 4:45? But hour hand is near 12 — no.

Another idea: perhaps "near 12" means it's 12:something, and minute hand on 9 is 45, so 12:45.

And Clock A is 3:10 — but 3:10 to 12:45 is 9h35m — unlikely for elementary worksheet.

Unless... maybe Clock A is 3:10 PM and Clock B is 12:45 AM next day? Still complicated.

Perhaps I have Clock A wrong.

Let me re-read user's description:

First row:

Clock A: hour hand between 3 and 4, minute hand on 2 → 3:10

Clock B: hour hand near 12, minute hand on 9 → if we interpret "near 12" as the hour hand being at 12, then it's 12:45.

But at 12:45, hour hand should be 3/4 towards 1, not near 12.

Unless the drawing is approximate.

Perhaps in this worksheet, they consider the hour hand position only roughly.

Let's look for a better way.

Maybe for Clock B in first row, it's 11:45, and Clock A is 3:10, and elapsed time is calculated as from 3:10 to 11:45 = 8h35m.

But let's calculate all pairs systematically.

I recall that in such worksheets, often the times are within a few hours, and sometimes they use 12-hour format without AM/PM, assuming same half-day.

Let's list all:

Pair 1:
Clock A: 3:10
Clock B: ?
If minute hand on 9 = 45 min, and hour hand near 12, it must be 11:45 or 12:45.
Assume 11:45 for now.
Elapsed: 3:10 to 11:45 = 8 hours 35 minutes.

Pair 2:
Clock A: 10:00 (minute on 12, hour on 10)
Clock B: 3:45 (minute on 9, hour between 3 and 4)
Elapsed: 10:00 to 3:45 — if same day, it's 5h45m if we go from 10am to 3:45pm, but usually worksheets don't cross noon unless specified.

Perhaps it's 10:00 to 3:45 next day? Unlikely.

Another possibility: maybe Clock B is 1:45? But hour hand is between 3 and 4 — no.

Unless "between 3 and 4" means it's 3:something, but with minute hand on 9, it's 3:45.

Perhaps the elapsed time is from earlier to later, so for pair 2, from 10:00 to 3:45 is not possible same day morning, so maybe it's 10:00 AM to 3:45 PM = 5h45m.

Similarly for pair 1, 3:10 AM to 11:45 AM = 8h35m.

But let's check pair 3:

Clock A: 10:20 (minute on 4=20, hour between 10 and 11)
Clock B: 12:25 (minute on 5=25, hour just past 12)
Elapsed: 10:20 to 12:25 = 2h5m — good.

Pair 4:
Clock A: 7:10 (minute on 2=10, hour between 7 and 8)
Clock B: 8:55 (minute on 11=55, hour near 9 — so 8:55)
Elapsed: 7:10 to 8:55 = 1h45m — good.

So for pair 1 and 2, we have longer times, but perhaps that's intentional.

Maybe for pair 1, Clock B is 4:45? But hour hand is near 12 — no.

Another thought: in Clock B of first row, if hour hand is near 12 and minute hand on 9, and if we consider that the hour hand might be at 12 for 12:45, even though technically it should be closer to 1, perhaps in this worksheet it's accepted as 12:45.

Then elapsed from 3:10 to 12:45.

From 3:10 to 12:10 is 9 hours, plus 35 min = 9h35m.

Still long.

Perhaps Clock A is 3:10 and Clock B is 4:45? But hour hand is described as near 12 — not 4.

I think I need to accept the readings as per standard interpretation.

Let me define:

- Minute hand on N means N*5 minutes.
- Hour hand: if minute hand is M minutes, then hour hand is at H + M/60 hours, where H is the hour it's closest to.

For Clock B first row: minute hand on 9 = 45 min, so hour hand should be at 11 + 45/60 = 11.75, so between 11 and 12, closer to 12 — so "near 12" makes sense for 11:45.

Similarly, for Clock A: 3:10.

Elapsed time: from 3:10 to 11:45.

Calculate:

From 3:10 to 11:10 is 8 hours.

From 11:10 to 11:45 is 35 minutes.

Total: 8 hours 35 minutes.

For pair 2:

Clock A: 10:00

Clock B: 3:45

From 10:00 to 3:45 — if we assume it's from 10:00 AM to 3:45 PM, then:

10:00 to 12:00 = 2 hours

12:00 to 3:00 = 3 hours

3:00 to 3:45 = 45 minutes

Total: 2+3+0.75 = 5 hours 45 minutes.

If it's 10:00 PM to 3:45 AM, same thing.

So we'll go with that.

Now let's do all four pairs.

Pair 1:
Clock A: 3:10
Clock B: 11:45
Elapsed: 8 hours 35 minutes

Pair 2:
Clock A: 10:00
Clock B: 3:45
Elapsed: 5 hours 45 minutes (assuming from 10:00 to 15:45 or 22:00 to 03:45)

Pair 3:
Clock A: 10:20 (minute on 4=20, hour between 10 and 11)
Clock B: 12:25 (minute on 5=25, hour just past 12 — so 12:25)
Elapsed: from 10:20 to 12:25 = 2 hours 5 minutes

Pair 4:
Clock A: 7:10 (minute on 2=10, hour between 7 and 8)
Clock B: 8:55 (minute on 11=55, hour near 9 — so 8:55)
Elapsed: from 7:10 to 8:55 = 1 hour 45 minutes

Now, to confirm calculations:

Pair 1: 3:10 to 11:45
- Hours: 11 - 3 = 8 hours, but from 3:10 to 11:10 is 8 hours, then +35 min to 11:45 → 8h35m ✔️

Pair 2: 10:00 to 3:45
- If 10:00 to 15:45 (3:45 PM): 5h45m ✔️
- If 10:00 to 3:45 next day, same duration.

Pair 3: 10:20 to 12:25
- 10:20 to 12:20 = 2 hours, +5 min = 2h5m ✔️

Pair 4: 7:10 to 8:55
- 7:10 to 8:10 = 1 hour, 8:10 to 8:55 = 45 min, total 1h45m ✔️

So final answers:

First set:
Clock A: 3:10
Clock B: 11:45
Elapsed: 8 hours 35 minutes

Second set:
Clock A: 10:00
Clock B: 3:45
Elapsed: 5 hours 45 minutes

Third set:
Clock A: 10:20
Clock B: 12:25
Elapsed: 2 hours 5 minutes

Fourth set:
Clock A: 7:10
Clock B: 8:55
Elapsed: 1 hour 45 minutes

Now, for the answer format, since ExplainAnswer is false, TeachTopic is false, GeneratePractice is false, I only provide Final Answer.

But the user wants the answers filled in for each question.

The worksheet has for each pair:

What time is on Clock A? ______
What time is on Clock B? ______
How much time has elapsed between Clock A and B? ______

So I need to provide those for each of the four pairs.

Final Answer should include all.

Since it's text, I'll list them clearly.
