The short hand shows the hours and is called the hour hand. The long hand shows the minutes and is called the minute hand.

: the short hand that marks the hours on the face of a watch or clock.

It’s obvious that, in order for people to be able to tell the time accurately, clock hands have to be slightly different sizes so that one doesn’t obscure the other. If the minute hand were shorter, you would always run into the hour hand when adjusting the time.

hour hand

Another way to think of this is to imagine the clock at a nearby time. At 3:00, the hands of the clock form a right angle of 90 degrees. Since we know that each number on the clock is separated by 30 degrees, we can simply add 30 to 90 degrees and get 120 degrees for the angle at 4:00.

Students learn that when telling time to the hour on an analog clock, the minute hand is on the 12 and the hour hand is on the hour. They say the hour first and then “o’clock”. For example, if the hour hand is on the 4 and the minute hand is on the 12, they say 4 o’clock.

Children should know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day. Ages 7-8: Children should be able to read an analog clock, using 12 hour clocks, 24 hour clocks, and Roman Numerals (I-XII). Children should be able to compare time (by hours, minutes, and even seconds).

An analogue clock is a clock or watch that has moving hands and (usually) hours marked from 1 to 12 to show you the time. Some have Roman Numerals (I, II, III, etc) instead, or no numbers at all, instead only relying on the positioning of the hands and what angle they’re at to indicate the time.

Il est is the only correct phrase for telling time. You cannot say c’est une heure….Telling time in French.

To read an analog clock, begin with the hours. Look at the shortest hand only; this is the hour hand….When measuring minutes or seconds, we have to multiply the printed numbers times 5:

1. 1 = 5. 1 = 5.
2. 2 = 10. 2 = 10.
3. 3 = 15. 3 = 15.
4. 4 = 20. 4 = 20.
5. 5 = 25. 5 = 25.
6. 6 = 30. 6 = 30.
7. 7 = 35. 7 = 35.
8. 8 = 40. 8 = 40.

The small hand on a clock that shows the hours. It goes once around the clock every 12 hours (half a day). (The large hand is the “minute hand” and it shows that it is 22 past the hour, so it is 22 past 8).

THREE HANDS

Le déjeuner est servi à 12.15 (douze heures quinze) et le diner à 19.45 (dix-neuf-heures quarante-cinq). (Lunch is served at 12:15, and dinner at 7:45.)

The French translation for “half past three (3:30)” is trois heures et demie. The French, trois heures et demie, can be broken down into 4 parts:”3 (three)” (trois), “hours; o’clock” (heures), “and” (et) and “half (feminine)” (demie).

If you want to say the word for “20” in Spanish, you would say, “veinticinco.” It’s part of a sequence you may already know: veinticinco (25), cincuenta (50), setenta y cinco (75), cien (100).

The little hand marks the hour. Whichever number it’s pointing to is the hour of the day. For example, if the little hand is pointing to “1,” it’s in the 1 o’clock hour.

short hand

In order to coincide the minute hand has to gain 30 minutes space. Now 55 minutes are gained by minute hand in 60 minutes. 30 minutes will be gained in = 6055×30=3611 = 32811 minutes. So the hands will coincide 32811 minutes past 6.

Answer. 360/12 = 30. each interval of 5 minutes is 30 degree. for angle to be 60 degree, it should be 10min away.

5½° more than hour hand . right angles twice in every hours . I hope this helps you.

Explanation: At 5 o’clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart. To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min.

Explanation: To be together between 9 and 10 o’clock, the minute hand has to gain 45 min. spaces. 55 min.

Hence, our required time in the nearest seconds is 9 minutes 14 seconds. So, at 10h 9m 14s, two hands will become symmetric. So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Example 2: At what time between 10 and 11 will the minute and hour hand be at right angles? Solution: At 10 O’clock, the hour hand has covered (10*30°) = 300°. Considering that hour hand is at 10, to make a 90-degree angle with the hour hand, the minute hand has to be at 1 or 7.

(60H11) ( 60 H 11 ) minutes past H o’ clock. At 2 o’ clock, the hands are 10 minute spaces apart. Hence minute hand needs to gain 10 more minute spaces over the hour hand so that the hands will be together. In 60 minutes, minute hand gains 55 minute spaces over the hour hand.

At what time between 5 and 6 o’ clock are the hands of a 3 minutes apart ? Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5. therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.

at 3 O’clock hours hand will be at minute space 15 and min hand at 0. To be ahead of 4 minute spaces than hours hand, min hand need to move (15+4) minute spaces. Hence @ 3:20 8/11 min minute hand will be 4 minute spaces ahead of hours hand.

Hence the habds will be 2 minute apart at 24 minute past 4.

After 3 o’clock hour-hand and minute-hand of a clock occur at right angles for the first time at 3 hours 32811 minutes.

2) At what time between 3 and 4, the hands of a clock are straight and point in opposite directions? Explanation: At 3 O’ clock, the hands of the clock are 15 minute spaces apart. To be in straight line and in opposite directions, the hands must be 30 minutes spaces apart.
