Solved Examples: Matching Analog Clocks to Digital O'Clock Times

📚 Quick Study Guide

⏱️
• An analog clock has two main hands: a short hour hand and a long minute hand.
🔢
• The numbers on the clock represent the hours, from 1 to 12.
⏰
• When the minute hand points directly at the 12, it represents "o'clock".
🧭
• To read an o'clock time, look at where the hour hand is pointing. If it's pointing at the 3 and the minute hand is on the 12, the time is 3 o'clock.
💡
• Remember, each number on the clock represents 5-minute intervals. So, the 1 is 5 minutes, the 2 is 10 minutes, and so on. But for o'clock times, we only care about the hour hand.
