Let’s go through each clock one by one and figure out where to draw the hour and minute hands.
Remember:
- The
short hand is the
hour hand. It points to the hour (or just past it if minutes have passed).
- The
long hand is the
minute hand. It points to the number that shows how many minutes past the hour.
Each number on the clock = 5 minutes for the minute hand.
So:
- 12 → 0 minutes
- 1 → 5 minutes
- 2 → 10 minutes
- 3 → 15 minutes
- 4 → 20 minutes
- 5 → 25 minutes
- 6 → 30 minutes
- 7 → 35 minutes
- 8 → 40 minutes
- 9 → 45 minutes
- 10 → 50 minutes
- 11 → 55 minutes
Now let’s solve each one:
---
1. Jaylen gets up at 7:00
- Hour hand: point directly at 7
- Minute hand: point directly at 12
2. Danny brushes his teeth at 7:15
- Hour hand: a little past 7 (since 15 minutes have passed)
- Minute hand: point at 3 (because 15 minutes = 3 × 5)
3. Lori takes a shower at 7:45
- Hour hand: almost at 8, but still between 7 and 8 — closer to 8
- Minute hand: point at 9 (because 45 minutes = 9 × 5)
4. Joe eats breakfast at 8:15
- Hour hand: a little past 8
- Minute hand: point at 3
5. Steve drinks juice at 8:30
- Hour hand: halfway between 8 and 9
- Minute hand: point at 6
6. Victoria eats her cereal at 7:15
- Same as Danny!
- Hour hand: a little past 7
- Minute hand: point at 3
7. Jay gets on the bus at 8:30
- Same as Steve!
- Hour hand: halfway between 8 and 9
- Minute hand: point at 6
8. Buddy gets in the car at 8:45
- Hour hand: almost at 9, but still between 8 and 9 — closer to 9
- Minute hand: point at 9
9. Carlos gets to school at 9:00
- Hour hand: point directly at 9
- Minute hand: point directly at 12

Final Answer:
Here’s what to draw on each clock:
1.
Jaylen – 7:00
→ Short hand on 7, long hand on 12
2.
Danny – 7:15
→ Short hand slightly past 7, long hand on 3
3.
Lori – 7:45
→ Short hand close to 8 (but not quite), long hand on 9
4.
Joe – 8:15
→ Short hand slightly past 8, long hand on 3
5.
Steve – 8:30
→ Short hand halfway between 8 and 9, long hand on 6
6.
Victoria – 7:15
→ Short hand slightly past 7, long hand on 3
7.
Jay – 8:30
→ Short hand halfway between 8 and 9, long hand on 6
8.
Buddy – 8:45
→ Short hand close to 9 (but not quite), long hand on 9
9.
Carlos – 9:00
→ Short hand on 9, long hand on 12
