Printable math worksheet for learning to tell time, featuring four scenarios where students must identify the correct time based on the positions of clock hands.

Let’s solve each problem step by step.

We know:
- The minute hand on a clock points to the number of minutes past the hour.
- When it’s on 6, that means 30 minutes (because each number = 5 minutes → 6 × 5 = 30).
- The hour hand tells us which hour it is — but if the minute hand is at 30, the hour hand will be halfway between two numbers. However, in these problems, they say “the hour hand was on [number]”, so we take that as the current hour.

So for all these questions:
→ Minute hand on 6 = :30
→ Hour hand on X = X o’clock
→ So time is X:30

---

Problem 1:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 8 → 8 o’clock
Time = 8:30

Problem 2:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 3 → 3 o’clock
Time = 3:30

Problem 3:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 7 → 7 o’clock
Time = 7:30

Problem 4:
Minute hand on 6 → 30 minutes
Hour hand on 4 → 4 o’clock
Time = 4:30

All answers follow the same pattern — no tricks here!

Final Answer:
1. 8:30
2. 3:30
3. 7:30
4. 4:30
