Step-by-step solution for: Telling Time to the Nearest 5 Minutes | Worksheets & Answer Keys ...
Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking at 15 analog clocks. For each clock, we need to read the time in 5-minute intervals — that means the minute hand will always point to a number that is a multiple of 5 (like 0, 5, 10, 15, ..., 55).
- The short hand = hour hand → tells us the hour.
- The long hand = minute hand → tells us the minutes.
- Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes for the minute hand.
- So if the minute hand points to 1 → 5 minutes
- Points to 2 → 10 minutes
- Points to 3 → 15 minutes
- ...
- Points to 12 → 0 or 60 minutes
Also, if the minute hand is past 6 (i.e., more than 30 minutes), the hour hand will be closer to the next hour.
---
Let’s go row by row, left to right.
## Row 1:
Clock 1:
- Hour hand: just past 1 → so hour = 1
- Minute hand: pointing at 1 → 5 minutes
→ Time: 1:05
Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between 4 and 5, closer to 5? Wait — actually, it's pointing near 5 but not quite. Let’s check minute hand first.
- Minute hand: pointing at 11 → 55 minutes
- Since minute hand is at 55, the hour hand should be almost at the next hour. It’s pointing just before 5 → so hour is 4
→ Time: 4:55
Clock 3:
- Hour hand: pointing at 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Time: 9:30
Clock 4:
- Hour hand: between 2 and 3, closer to 3? Minute hand is at 10 → 50 minutes → so hour is still 2
→ Time: 2:50
Clock 5:
- Hour hand: pointing at 1
- Minute hand: pointing at 11 → 55 minutes → wait, no! If minute hand is at 11, that’s 55 minutes, so hour hand should be almost at 2. But here, hour hand is pointing at 1? That doesn’t match.
Wait — let me double-check Clock 5.
Actually, looking again:
Hour hand is pointing at 1, minute hand is pointing at 11 → that would mean 1:55. But at 1:55, the hour hand should be very close to 2. In the drawing, it looks like it’s pointing at 1 — maybe it’s meant to be 1:55? Or perhaps I misread.
Wait — let’s look carefully:
In Clock 5, the hour hand is pointing directly at 1, and the minute hand is pointing at 11. That suggests 1:55 — even though technically the hour hand should be near 2, in many worksheets they simplify it. We’ll go with what’s drawn.
But actually — let’s compare with others. Maybe it’s 1:55.
Alternatively — could it be 12:55? No, hour hand is clearly at 1.
I think we have to go with 1:55 for now.
Wait — let’s re-express all with care.
Actually, let’s list them systematically.
---
Better approach: For each clock, write down where the hands are.
1. Hour: ~1, Minute: 1 → 1:05
2. Hour: ~4 (since min=55, hour is almost 5), Minute: 11 → 4:55
3. Hour: 9, Minute: 6 → 9:30
4. Hour: ~2 (min=50, so almost 3), Minute: 10 → 2:50
5. Hour: 1, Minute: 11 → 1:55 ← but at 1:55, hour hand should be near 2. However, in some drawings, they show it at 1. Let’s assume it’s 1:55.
Wait — actually, looking at standard worksheet conventions, when the minute hand is at 11 (55 min), the hour hand is shown just before the next hour. In Clock 5, the hour hand is pointing at 1 — which would be correct for 1:55 only if it’s *just* before 2. But in the image description, it says “pointing at 1” — perhaps it’s meant to be 1:55.
Alternatively, maybe it’s 12:55? But hour hand is at 1.
I think we’ll proceed as drawn.
Actually — let’s count the positions properly.
Perhaps I made a mistake. Let me try again with exact positions.
Since this is text-based, I’ll use logic.
Standard rule:
Minute hand position × 5 = minutes.
Hour hand: if minute < 30, hour hand is near current hour; if minute > 30, hour hand is nearing next hour.
So:
Row 1:
1. Min hand at 1 → 5 min; hour hand just past 1 → 1:05
2. Min hand at 11 → 55 min; hour hand between 4 and 5, closer to 5 → 4:55
3. Min hand at 6 → 30 min; hour hand at 9 → 9:30
4. Min hand at 10 → 50 min; hour hand between 2 and 3, closer to 3 → 2:50
5. Min hand at 11 → 55 min; hour hand at 1 → but should be near 2. However, since it’s drawn at 1, perhaps it’s a trick? Or maybe it’s 1:55. I think we go with 1:55
Wait — actually, in many elementary worksheets, they draw the hour hand exactly on the hour even for :55, which is inaccurate, but common. So we’ll accept 1:55
---
## Row 2:
6. Hour hand: between 10 and 11, closer to 11? Min hand at 5 → 25 min → so hour is 10 → 10:25
7. Hour hand: between 9 and 10, min hand at 8 → 40 min → so hour is 9 → 9:40
8. Hour hand: between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → so hour is 8 → 8:45
9. Hour hand: between 1 and 2, min hand at 2 → 10 min → so hour is 1 → 1:10
10. Hour hand: between 3 and 4, min hand at 4 → 20 min → so hour is 3 → 3:20
Wait — let’s verify:
Clock 6: min hand at 5 → 25 min; hour hand is pointing toward 11? Actually, if min=25, hour hand should be a quarter way from 10 to 11. If it’s drawn near 11, it might be 10:25.
Similarly, Clock 7: min hand at 8 → 40 min; hour hand between 9 and 10 → yes, 9:40
Clock 8: min hand at 9 → 45 min; hour hand between 8 and 9 → 8:45
Clock 9: min hand at 2 → 10 min; hour hand between 1 and 2 → 1:10
Clock 10: min hand at 4 → 20 min; hour hand between 3 and 4 → 3:20
---
## Row 3:
11. Hour hand: between 3 and 4, min hand at 10 → 50 min → so hour is 3 → 3:50
12. Hour hand: at 9, min hand at 3 → 15 min → 9:15
13. Hour hand: between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → 8:45? Wait, same as earlier? No — let’s see.
Wait, Clock 13: hour hand between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → so 8:45 — but we already had 8:45 in row 2? That’s possible.
Actually, let’s list:
Clock 11: min hand at 10 → 50 min; hour hand between 3 and 4 → 3:50
Clock 12: min hand at 3 → 15 min; hour hand at 9 → 9:15
Clock 13: min hand at 9 → 45 min; hour hand between 8 and 9 → 8:45
Clock 14: min hand at 7 → 35 min; hour hand between 4 and 5 → 4:35
Clock 15: min hand at 4 → 20 min; hour hand between 3 and 4 → 3:20? Wait, same as clock 10?
Wait — let’s do final listing carefully.
I think I need to make a grid.
Let me number them 1 to 15 left to right, top to bottom.
Final Times:
1. 1:05
2. 4:55
3. 9:30
4. 2:50
5. 1:55
6. 10:25
7. 9:40
8. 8:45
9. 1:10
10. 3:20
11. 3:50
12. 9:15
13. 8:45 ← duplicate? But okay, different clocks can show same time.
Wait — clock 13: hour hand between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → 8:45 — yes.
But clock 8 was also 8:45? Let me check original.
Actually, in row 2, clock 8: hour hand between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 8:45
Row 3, clock 13: same description? Perhaps it’s a repeat, or maybe I misread.
Looking back at user’s image description — it’s a grid of 3 rows x 5 columns.
To avoid confusion, let’s list based on standard interpretation.
After careful review, here are the times:
Row 1:
1. 1:05
2. 4:55
3. 9:30
4. 2:50
5. 1:55
Row 2:
6. 10:25
7. 9:40
8. 8:45
9. 1:10
10. 3:20
Row 3:
11. 3:50
12. 9:15
13. 8:45 ← yes, same as #8, but possible
14. 4:35
15. 3:20 ← same as #10?
Wait, clock 15: hour hand between 3 and 4, min hand at 4 → 20 min → 3:20 — same as clock 10.
That’s fine — the worksheet may have repeats.
But let’s confirm clock 14: min hand at 7 → 35 min; hour hand between 4 and 5 → 4:35 — correct.
Now, to present the answer, we list all 15 times in order.
Final Answer:
1:05, 4:55, 9:30, 2:50, 1:55,
10:25, 9:40, 8:45, 1:10, 3:20,
3:50, 9:15, 8:45, 4:35, 3:20
But let’s write them clearly.
Actually, for accuracy, let’s ensure no mistakes.
Double-checking clock 5: hour hand at 1, min hand at 11 → 1:55 — accepted.
Clock 13: same as clock 8 — both 8:45 — okay.
Clock 15: same as clock 10 — both 3:20 — okay.
So the complete list is:
Row 1: 1:05, 4:55, 9:30, 2:50, 1:55
Row 2: 10:25, 9:40, 8:45, 1:10, 3:20
Row 3: 3:50, 9:15, 8:45, 4:35, 3:20
Yes.
Final Answer:
1:05, 4:55, 9:30, 2:50, 1:55, 10:25, 9:40, 8:45, 1:10, 3:20, 3:50, 9:15, 8:45, 4:35, 3:20
We are looking at 15 analog clocks. For each clock, we need to read the time in 5-minute intervals — that means the minute hand will always point to a number that is a multiple of 5 (like 0, 5, 10, 15, ..., 55).
How to read an analog clock:
- The short hand = hour hand → tells us the hour.
- The long hand = minute hand → tells us the minutes.
- Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes for the minute hand.
- So if the minute hand points to 1 → 5 minutes
- Points to 2 → 10 minutes
- Points to 3 → 15 minutes
- ...
- Points to 12 → 0 or 60 minutes
Also, if the minute hand is past 6 (i.e., more than 30 minutes), the hour hand will be closer to the next hour.

Let’s go row by row, left to right.
## Row 1:
Clock 1:
- Hour hand: just past 1 → so hour = 1
- Minute hand: pointing at 1 → 5 minutes
→ Time: 1:05
Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between 4 and 5, closer to 5? Wait — actually, it's pointing near 5 but not quite. Let’s check minute hand first.
- Minute hand: pointing at 11 → 55 minutes
- Since minute hand is at 55, the hour hand should be almost at the next hour. It’s pointing just before 5 → so hour is 4
→ Time: 4:55
Clock 3:
- Hour hand: pointing at 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Time: 9:30
Clock 4:
- Hour hand: between 2 and 3, closer to 3? Minute hand is at 10 → 50 minutes → so hour is still 2
→ Time: 2:50
Clock 5:
- Hour hand: pointing at 1
- Minute hand: pointing at 11 → 55 minutes → wait, no! If minute hand is at 11, that’s 55 minutes, so hour hand should be almost at 2. But here, hour hand is pointing at 1? That doesn’t match.
Wait — let me double-check Clock 5.
Actually, looking again:
Hour hand is pointing at 1, minute hand is pointing at 11 → that would mean 1:55. But at 1:55, the hour hand should be very close to 2. In the drawing, it looks like it’s pointing at 1 — maybe it’s meant to be 1:55? Or perhaps I misread.

## Row 2:
6. Hour hand: between 10 and 11, closer to 11? Min hand at 5 → 25 min → so hour is 10 → 10:25
7. Hour hand: between 9 and 10, min hand at 8 → 40 min → so hour is 9 → 9:40
8. Hour hand: between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → so hour is 8 → 8:45
9. Hour hand: between 1 and 2, min hand at 2 → 10 min → so hour is 1 → 1:10
10. Hour hand: between 3 and 4, min hand at 4 → 20 min → so hour is 3 → 3:20
Wait — let’s verify:
Clock 6: min hand at 5 → 25 min; hour hand is pointing toward 11? Actually, if min=25, hour hand should be a quarter way from 10 to 11. If it’s drawn near 11, it might be 10:25.
Similarly, Clock 7: min hand at 8 → 40 min; hour hand between 9 and 10 → yes, 9:40
Clock 8: min hand at 9 → 45 min; hour hand between 8 and 9 → 8:45
Clock 9: min hand at 2 → 10 min; hour hand between 1 and 2 → 1:10
Clock 10: min hand at 4 → 20 min; hour hand between 3 and 4 → 3:20

## Row 3:
11. Hour hand: between 3 and 4, min hand at 10 → 50 min → so hour is 3 → 3:50
12. Hour hand: at 9, min hand at 3 → 15 min → 9:15
13. Hour hand: between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → 8:45? Wait, same as earlier? No — let’s see.
Wait, Clock 13: hour hand between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → so 8:45 — but we already had 8:45 in row 2? That’s possible.
Actually, let’s list:
Clock 11: min hand at 10 → 50 min; hour hand between 3 and 4 → 3:50

Clock 13: min hand at 9 → 45 min; hour hand between 8 and 9 → 8:45
Clock 14: min hand at 7 → 35 min; hour hand between 4 and 5 → 4:35
Clock 15: min hand at 4 → 20 min; hour hand between 3 and 4 → 3:20? Wait, same as clock 10?
Wait — let’s do final listing carefully.
I think I need to make a grid.
Let me number them 1 to 15 left to right, top to bottom.
Final Times:

9. 1:10
10. 3:20
11. 3:50
12. 9:15
13. 8:45 ← duplicate? But okay, different clocks can show same time.
Wait — clock 13: hour hand between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 45 min → 8:45 — yes.
But clock 8 was also 8:45? Let me check original.
Actually, in row 2, clock 8: hour hand between 8 and 9, min hand at 9 → 8:45
Row 3, clock 13: same description? Perhaps it’s a repeat, or maybe I misread.
Looking back at user’s image description — it’s a grid of 3 rows x 5 columns.
To avoid confusion, let’s list based on standard interpretation.
After careful review, here are the times:
Row 1:
1. 1:05
2. 4:55
3. 9:30
4. 2:50
5. 1:55
Row 2:
6. 10:25
7. 9:40

12. 9:15
13. 8:45 ← yes, same as #8, but possible
14. 4:35
15. 3:20 ← same as #10?
Wait, clock 15: hour hand between 3 and 4, min hand at 4 → 20 min → 3:20 — same as clock 10.
That’s fine — the worksheet may have repeats.
But let’s confirm clock 14: min hand at 7 → 35 min; hour hand between 4 and 5 → 4:35 — correct.
Now, to present the answer, we list all 15 times in order.
Final Answer:
1:05, 4:55, 9:30, 2:50, 1:55,
10:25, 9:40, 8:45, 1:10, 3:20,
3:50, 9:15, 8:45, 4:35, 3:20
But let’s write them clearly.
Actually, for accuracy, let’s ensure no mistakes.
Double-checking clock 5: hour hand at 1, min hand at 11 → 1:55 — accepted.
Clock 13: same as clock 8 — both 8:45 — okay.
Clock 15: same as clock 10 — both 3:20 — okay.
So the complete list is:
Row 1: 1:05, 4:55, 9:30, 2:50, 1:55
Row 2: 10:25, 9:40, 8:45, 1:10, 3:20
Row 3: 3:50, 9:15, 8:45, 4:35, 3:20
Yes.
