To read the time on an analog clock, we look at two hands:
1.
The short hand (hour hand): This tells us the hour. It points to the number for the current hour. If it is between two numbers, the time is in the earlier hour (e.g., between 8 and 9 means it is 8-something).
2.
The long hand (minute hand): This tells us the minutes. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes (1=5, 2=10, 3=15, etc.). We count by 5s starting from 12 until we reach the minute hand.
Let's solve each clock one by one:
Clock 1 (Top Left):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 8.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 1. Since $1 \times 5 = 5$, it is 5 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
8:05
Clock 2 (Top Middle):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 2.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 10. Since $10 \times 5 = 50$, it is 50 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
2:50
Clock 3 (Top Right):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 7.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 6. Since $6 \times 5 = 30$, it is half past the hour.
* Time:
7:30
Clock 4 (Middle Left):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 6.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 5. Since $5 \times 5 = 25$, it is 25 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
6:25
Clock 5 (Middle Middle):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 5.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 11. Since $11 \times 5 = 55$, it is 55 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
5:55
Clock 6 (Middle Right):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 2.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 8. Since $8 \times 5 = 40$, it is 40 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
2:40
Clock 7 (Bottom Left):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 9.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 1. Since $1 \times 5 = 5$, it is 5 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
9:05
Clock 8 (Bottom Middle):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 10.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 8. Since $8 \times 5 = 40$, it is 40 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
10:40
Clock 9 (Bottom Right):
* Hour hand: Points directly at 11.
* Minute hand: Points directly at 5. Since $5 \times 5 = 25$, it is 25 minutes past the hour.
* Time:
11:25
Final Answer:
Row 1: 8:05, 2:50, 7:30
Row 2: 6:25, 5:55, 2:40
Row 3: 9:05, 10:40, 11:25
