Explanation:
To read the time on a clock, you need to look at two hands: the short hand (the hour hand) and the long hand (the minute hand).
1. The short hand shows the hour. It points to or is just past a number.
2. The long hand shows the minutes. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. So, if the long hand points to 1, it's 5 minutes; if it points to 2, it's 10 minutes, and so on.
3. Count the minutes by multiplying the number the long hand points to by 5.
4. If the long hand is on 12, it means 0 minutes (or the start of the hour).
5. If the long hand is on 6, it means 30 minutes (half past the hour).
Let’s go through each clock:
- First row, middle clock:
Short hand is between 6 and 7, so it’s 6 o’clock.
Long hand is on 1, which is 5 minutes.
Time: 6:05
- First row, right clock:
Short hand is between 8 and 9, so it’s 8 o’clock.
Long hand is on 5, which is 5 × 5 = 25 minutes.
Time: 8:25
- Second row, left clock:
Short hand is between 1 and 2, so it’s 1 o’clock.
Long hand is on 12, which is 0 minutes.
Time: 1:00
- Second row, middle clock:
Short hand is between 11 and 12, so it’s 11 o’clock.
Long hand is on 6, which is 6 × 5 = 30 minutes.
Time: 11:30
- Second row, right clock:
Short hand is between 12 and 1, so it’s 12 o’clock.
Long hand is on 11, which is 11 × 5 = 55 minutes.
Time: 12:55
- Third row, left clock:
Short hand is between 2 and 3, so it’s 2 o’clock.
Long hand is on 9, which is 9 × 5 = 45 minutes.
Time: 2:45
- Third row, middle clock:
Short hand is between 4 and 5, so it’s 4 o’clock.
Long hand is on 10, which is 10 × 5 = 50 minutes.
Time: 4:50
- Third row, right clock:
Short hand is between 10 and 11, so it’s 10 o’clock.
Long hand is on 11, which is 11 × 5 = 55 minutes.
Time: 10:55
- Fourth row, left clock:
Short hand is between 6 and 7, so it’s 6 o’clock.
Long hand is on 8, which is 8 × 5 = 40 minutes.
Time: 6:40
- Fourth row, middle clock:
Short hand is on 12, so it’s 12 o’clock.
Long hand is on 12, which is 0 minutes.
Time: 12:00
- Fourth row, right clock:
Short hand is between 9 and 10, so it’s 9 o’clock.
Long hand is on 12, which is 0 minutes.
Time: 9:00
Final Answer:
6:05, 8:25, 1:00, 11:30, 12:55, 2:45, 4:50, 10:55, 6:40, 12:00, 9:00
