To solve this worksheet, we need to draw the hour hand (the short hand) and the minute hand (the long hand) on each clock face to match the time written below it.
Here is the step-by-step guide for each clock:
1. Jaylen gets up at 7:00
*
Minute Hand: Points straight up at the
12.
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at the
7.
2. Danny brushes his teeth at 7:15
*
Minute Hand: Points at the
3 (because 15 minutes is a quarter of the way around).
*
Hour Hand: Points just a little bit past the
7.
3. Lori takes a shower at 7:45
*
Minute Hand: Points at the
9 (because 45 minutes is three-quarters of the way around).
*
Hour Hand: Points almost at the
8, but not quite there yet. It should be close to the 8.
4. Joe eats breakfast at 8:15
*
Minute Hand: Points at the
3.
*
Hour Hand: Points just a little bit past the
8.
5. Steve drinks juice at 8:30
*
Minute Hand: Points straight down at the
6.
*
Hour Hand: Points exactly halfway between the
8 and the
9.
6. Victoria eats her cereal at 7:15
*
Minute Hand: Points at the
3.
*
Hour Hand: Points just a little bit past the
7.
7. Jay gets on the bus at 8:30
*
Minute Hand: Points straight down at the
6.
*
Hour Hand: Points exactly halfway between the
8 and the
9.
8. Buddy gets in the car at 8:45
*
Minute Hand: Points at the
9.
*
Hour Hand: Points almost at the
9, but not quite. It should be very close to the 9.
9. Carlos gets to school at 9:00
*
Minute Hand: Points straight up at the
12.
*
Hour Hand: Points directly at the
9.
Final Answer:
The hands on the clocks should be drawn as follows:
-
7:00: Short hand on 7, Long hand on 12.
-
7:15: Short hand slightly past 7, Long hand on 3.
-
7:45: Short hand nearly at 8, Long hand on 9.
-
8:15: Short hand slightly past 8, Long hand on 3.
-
8:30: Short hand halfway between 8 and 9, Long hand on 6.
-
7:15: Short hand slightly past 7, Long hand on 3.
-
8:30: Short hand halfway between 8 and 9, Long hand on 6.
-
8:45: Short hand nearly at 9, Long hand on 9.
-
9:00: Short hand on 9, Long hand on 12.
