P. 3
Example 1: Look at the clock figure and write down the time shown by it.
The hour clock is in between 10 and 11. So, the time is between 10 o’ clock and 11 o’ clock.
The minute hand is at 8. So the minute hand has moved 8 x 5 = 40 small divisions.
Therefore, the time is 10:40.
We can also write it as 40 minutes past 10 or 20 minutes to 11.
Example 2: What time does the given clock show?
Answer:
The hour clock is in between 10 and 11. So, the time is between 2 o’ clock and 3 o’ clock.
The minute hand is at 9. So the minute hand has moved 9 x 5 = 40 small divisions.
Therefore, the time is 02:45.
We can also write it as 45 minutes past 2 or 15 minutes to 3.
