Let’s go through each clock one by one. We’ll turn the digital time into an analogue clock drawing — that means we need to know where to put the hour hand and the minute hand.
Remember:
- The
minute hand (longer hand) goes on the number that matches the minutes, but remember: each number = 5 minutes. So if it’s :10, the minute hand points at 2 (because 2 × 5 = 10). If it’s :30, it points at 6. If it’s :45, it points at 9.
- The
hour hand (shorter hand) goes near the hour number, but moves a little toward the next hour as the minutes pass. For example, at 1:55, the hour hand is almost at 2, because 55 minutes is almost a full hour. At 8:30, the hour hand is halfway between 8 and 9.
Let’s do them in order:
---
First row:
1.
1:55
- Minute hand: 55 ÷ 5 = 11 → point at 11
- Hour hand: Almost at 2 (since 55 min is almost 2 o’clock), so just before 2
2.
3:55
- Minute hand: 55 ÷ 5 = 11 → point at 11
- Hour hand: Almost at 4 → just before 4
3.
1:50
- Minute hand: 50 ÷ 5 = 10 → point at 10
- Hour hand: Almost at 2 → just before 2
---
Second row:
4.
8:30
- Minute hand: 30 ÷ 5 = 6 → point at 6
- Hour hand: Halfway between 8 and 9
5.
12:10
- Minute hand: 10 ÷ 5 = 2 → point at 2
- Hour hand: Just past 12 (only 10 minutes have passed)
6.
5:50
- Minute hand: 50 ÷ 5 = 10 → point at 10
- Hour hand: Almost at 6 → just before 6
---
Third row:
7.
12:40
- Minute hand: 40 ÷ 5 = 8 → point at 8
- Hour hand: Between 12 and 1, closer to 1 (since 40 min is more than half)
8.
10:40
- Minute hand: 40 ÷ 5 = 8 → point at 8
- Hour hand: Between 10 and 11, closer to 11
9.
5:35
- Minute hand: 35 ÷ 5 = 7 → point at 7
- Hour hand: Between 5 and 6, a bit past halfway (since 35 > 30)

✔ All times are now converted correctly for analogue clocks.
Final Answer:
For each digital time shown, draw the analogue clock hands as follows:
-
1:55 → Minute hand at 11, hour hand just before 2
-
3:55 → Minute hand at 11, hour hand just before 4
-
1:50 → Minute hand at 10, hour hand just before 2
-
8:30 → Minute hand at 6, hour hand halfway between 8 and 9
-
12:10 → Minute hand at 2, hour hand just past 12
-
5:50 → Minute hand at 10, hour hand just before 6
-
12:40 → Minute hand at 8, hour hand between 12 and 1, closer to 1
-
10:40 → Minute hand at 8, hour hand between 10 and 11, closer to 11
-
5:35 → Minute hand at 7, hour hand between 5 and 6, past halfway
