Let’s go through each clock one by one and figure out where to draw the hour and minute hands.
Remember:
- The
minute hand (longer hand) points to the number that matches the minutes. Each number on the clock = 5 minutes. So if it’s 10 minutes, point to 2 (because 2 × 5 = 10).
- The
hour hand (shorter hand) points near the hour number — but if there are minutes past the hour, it moves a little toward the next hour. For example, at 8:10, the hour hand is just a tiny bit past 8.
---
1a. 8:10
- Minute hand: 10 minutes → point to
2
- Hour hand: just past
8
1b. 4:05
- Minute hand: 5 minutes → point to
1
- Hour hand: just past
4
1c. 7:45
- Minute hand: 45 minutes → point to
9 (since 9 × 5 = 45)
- Hour hand: almost at
8, because 45 minutes is close to the next hour
---
2a. 12:10
- Minute hand: 10 minutes → point to
2
- Hour hand: just past
12
2b. 5:55
- Minute hand: 55 minutes → point to
11 (11 × 5 = 55)
- Hour hand: almost at
6, since 55 minutes is very close to the next hour
2c. 7:10
- Minute hand: 10 minutes → point to
2
- Hour hand: just past
7
---
3a. 10:15
- Minute hand: 15 minutes → point to
3 (3 × 5 = 15)
- Hour hand: a quarter way from
10 to
11
3b. 3:20
- Minute hand: 20 minutes → point to
4 (4 × 5 = 20)
- Hour hand: a third of the way from
3 to
4
3c. 10:40
- Minute hand: 40 minutes → point to
8 (8 × 5 = 40)
- Hour hand: two-thirds of the way from
10 to
11
---
4a. 3:00
- Minute hand: 0 minutes → point to
12
- Hour hand: exactly on
3
4b. 10:00
- Minute hand: 0 minutes → point to
12
- Hour hand: exactly on
10
4c. 12:25
- Minute hand: 25 minutes → point to
5 (5 × 5 = 25)
- Hour hand: halfway between
12 and
1

Final Answer:
For each clock, draw the hands as follows:
1a. Hour hand just past 8, minute hand on 2
1b. Hour hand just past 4, minute hand on 1
1c. Hour hand almost on 8, minute hand on 9
2a. Hour hand just past 12, minute hand on 2
2b. Hour hand almost on 6, minute hand on 11
2c. Hour hand just past 7, minute hand on 2
3a. Hour hand a quarter past 10, minute hand on 3
3b. Hour hand a third past 3, minute hand on 4
3c. Hour hand two-thirds past 10, minute hand on 8
4a. Hour hand on 3, minute hand on 12
4b. Hour hand on 10, minute hand on 12
4c. Hour hand halfway between 12 and 1, minute hand on 5
