Answer:
6:27
Explanation:
Hour hand v. Minute hand
The hour hand is the shorter line. To tell what the hour is, find this line and determine where it's pointing. If it's pointing at a number or between numbers, you know that's the hour. In this instance, the hour is 6 because the hand is between the 6 and 7. When this happens, the hour is automatically assumed to be the lower number. To find the minutes, find the long line/hand. Once this is done, follow the line to see where it is pointing. In this case, it is on the second dot past the five. This is the twenty seven minute mark. One way to figure this out is to start at the twelve, which is zero minutes, and count from there. The other way to quickly do this is each hour marker (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc) is five minutes away from the others. So, starting at twelve, you would count. Hour 1 is five minutes, hour 2 is ten minutes, hour 3 is fifteen, hour 4 is twenty, hour 5 is twenty-five, hour 6 is thirty, hour 7 is thirty-five, hour 8 is forty, hour 9 is forty-five, hour 10 is fifty, hour 11 is fifty-five, and hour 12 is sixty or a new hour. To find the time of a clock with the minute hand between two hours, like this case, count. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five. Then, start from five and count the individual minutes until you reach where the minute hand is pointing.
So, to summarize, the time is 6:27.
