Problem: The duration of a day is split into 24 hours and each of those hours is split into 60 minutes. In a clock, each hour is subdivided with a gap of 5 minutes i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25………. If the minute hand is on 1 it corresponds to 5 minutes, on 2 it corresponds to 10 minutes, and so on. If the small hand (hour hand) is between 2 numbers, the lower number is the hour, e.g. hour hand is between 5 and 6, and the minute hand is on 30 minutes, the time is read as 5:30. This is not the case when the hour hand is between 12 and 1; then the hour is 11, e.g. the minute hand is on the 15 minutes, it is 12:15 |
