Let’s go step by step to match each clock with the correct time.
We know:
- The
short hand is the
hour hand.
- The
long hand is the
minute hand.
- When the minute hand points to
12, it means
:00 (o’clock).
- So we just look at where the hour hand is pointing — that tells us the hour.

First row of clocks (left to right):
1. Hour hand points to
8, minute hand to 12 →
8:00
2. Hour hand points to
4, minute hand to 12 →
4:00
3. Hour hand points to
2, minute hand to 12 →
2:00
4. Hour hand points to
7, minute hand to 12 →
7:00
Second row of clocks (left to right):
5. Hour hand points to
10, minute hand to 12 →
10:00
6. Hour hand points to
1, minute hand to 12 →
1:00
7. Hour hand points to
12, minute hand to 12 →
12:00
8. Hour hand points to
6, minute hand to 12 →
6:00
Now, let’s list all the times from the bottom section:
Top row of cut-out times:
→ 6:00, 2:00, 8:00, 4:00
Bottom row of cut-out times:
→ 12:00, 7:00, 1:00, 10:00
So now we match:
Clock 1 (8:00) → matches “8:00”
Clock 2 (4:00) → matches “4:00”
Clock 3 (2:00) → matches “2:00”
Clock 4 (7:00) → matches “7:00”
Clock 5 (10:00) → matches “10:00”
Clock 6 (1:00) → matches “1:00”
Clock 7 (12:00) → matches “12:00”
Clock 8 (6:00) → matches “6:00”
All times are matched correctly!
Final Answer:
Match the clocks as follows:
First row (left to right):
8:00, 4:00, 2:00, 7:00
Second row (left to right):
10:00, 1:00, 12:00, 6:00
