Problem Description:
The task involves matching the clocks in the worksheet to the given times:
1:00,
6:00,
5:30, and
4:45. Each clock needs to be colored according to the time displayed on it.
Solution Approach:
To solve this problem, we need to understand how to read a clock and match the positions of the hour and minute hands to the given times. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
#### 1.
Understanding Clock Hands:
- The
hour hand is shorter and indicates the hour.
- The
minute hand is longer and indicates the minutes past the hour.
- A full rotation of the minute hand represents 60 minutes (one hour).
#### 2.
Analyzing Each Time:
-
1:00: The hour hand points directly at 1, and the minute hand points at 12 (0 minutes).
-
6:00: The hour hand points directly at 6, and the minute hand points at 12 (0 minutes).
-
5:30: The hour hand is halfway between 5 and 6, and the minute hand points at 6 (30 minutes).
-
4:45: The hour hand is three-quarters of the way from 4 to 5, and the minute hand points at 9 (45 minutes).
#### 3.
Matching the Clocks:
We will examine each clock in the worksheet and determine which time it corresponds to based on the positions of the hour and minute hands.

Step-by-Step Matching:
#### First Row:
1.
Clock 1: The hour hand is pointing at 1, and the minute hand is pointing at 12.
- This matches
1:00.
2.
Clock 2: The hour hand is pointing at 6, and the minute hand is pointing at 12.
- This matches
6:00.
3.
Clock 3: The hour hand is pointing at 5, and the minute hand is pointing at 6.
- This matches
5:30.
#### Second Row:
4.
Clock 4: The hour hand is pointing at 4, and the minute hand is pointing at 9.
- This matches
4:45.
5.
Clock 5: The hour hand is pointing at 7, and the minute hand is pointing at 12.
- This does not match any of the given times.
6.
Clock 6: The hour hand is pointing at 8, and the minute hand is pointing at 6.
- This does not match any of the given times.
#### Third Row:
7.
Clock 7: The hour hand is pointing at 3, and the minute hand is pointing at 12.
- This does not match any of the given times.
8.
Clock 8: The hour hand is pointing at 2, and the minute hand is pointing at 6.
- This does not match any of the given times.

Final Answer:
The clocks that match the given times are:
-
1:00: First clock in the first row.
-
6:00: Second clock in the first row.
-
5:30: Third clock in the first row.
-
4:45: First clock in the second row.
Thus, the solution is to color these four clocks accordingly.
$$
\boxed{1:00, 6:00, 5:30, 4:45}
