To tell the time on an analog clock, we look at two hands:
1.
The short hand (hour hand): This tells us the hour. It points to the number of the current hour. If it is between two numbers, the time is the lower number (for example, if it's past 3 but not yet 4, the hour is 3).
2.
The long hand (minute hand): This tells us the minutes. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. So, if it points to 1, it's 5 minutes; if it points to 2, it's 10 minutes, and so on.
Let's solve for each clock row by row, from left to right.
Row 1:
*
Clock 1: The short hand is past 3. The long hand points to 5. Since $5 \times 5 = 25$, the time is
3:25.
*
Clock 2: The short hand is past 5. The long hand points to 10. Since $10 \times 5 = 50$, the time is
5:50.
*
Clock 3: The short hand is past 10. The long hand points to 2. Since $2 \times 5 = 10$, the time is
10:10.
Row 2:
*
Clock 4: The short hand is past 6. The long hand points to 7. Since $7 \times 5 = 35$, the time is
6:35.
*
Clock 5: The short hand is just past 5. The long hand points to 12. When the long hand is on 12, it means ":00". So, the time is
5:00.
*
Clock 6: The short hand is past 2. The long hand points to 8. Since $8 \times 5 = 40$, the time is
2:40.
Row 3:
*
Clock 7: The short hand is just past 9. The long hand points to 12. This means ":00". So, the time is
9:00.
*
Clock 8: The short hand is past 2. The long hand points to 11. Since $11 \times 5 = 55$, the time is
2:55.
*
Clock 9: The short hand is past 7. The long hand points to 2. Since $2 \times 5 = 10$, the time is
7:10.
Final Answer:
Row 1: 3:25, 5:50, 10:10
Row 2: 6:35, 5:00, 2:40
Row 3: 9:00, 2:55, 7:10
