Answer:

5:20

Explanation:

When working with the min hand

Starting from 12, each number of a clock adds an additional 5 mins until you reach the 12, where it starts at 0 again. So

1 = :05

2= :10

3 =:15

4 = :20

...and so on

When its 5:00, the hour hand is on the 5. As it moves towards 6:00, the hour hand will start to gradually get pulled towards the 6 until it becomes 6:00, where it will finally reach the 6.
