Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time shown.
We look at two hands on each clock:
- The
short hand is the hour hand — it points to the hour.
- The
long hand is the minute hand — if it’s pointing straight up at 12, that means “o’clock” (0 minutes).

First row:
1. Left clock:
- Short hand points to 10 → hour = 10
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
10:00
2. Middle clock:
- Short hand points to 9 → hour = 9
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
9:00
3. Right clock:
- Short hand points to 5 → hour = 5
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
5:00
---
Second row:
4. Left clock:
- Short hand points to 12 → hour = 12
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
12:00
5. Middle clock:
- Short hand points to 1 → hour = 1
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
1:00
6. Right clock:
- Short hand points to 6 → hour = 6
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
6:00
---
Third row:
7. Left clock:
- Short hand points to 12 → hour = 12
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
12:00
8. Middle clock:
- Short hand points to 4 → hour = 4
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
4:00
9. Right clock:
- Short hand points to 7 → hour = 7
- Long hand points to 12 → minutes = 00
→ Time:
7:00
---
All times are “o’clock” because the long hand is always at 12.
Final Answer:
10:00
9:00
5:00
12:00
1:00
6:00
12:00
4:00
7:00
