The clock shows 5 minutes to 8 in the morning.
It is 12 minutes slow.
What time should it be?

8:07(am)

First, you have to know that 5 minutes to 8:00 is 7:55.

"It is 12 minutes slow."

So the clock's 12 minutes behind, let's catch it up a bit. :)

7:55(am) + 12(mins) = 8:07(am)

The clock is showing 7:55 AM
Since it’s 12 minutes behind then the time would be 7:43 AM
