Are you kidding? What grade are you?

Answer 1

The short hand on the clock tells which hour it is. For example, if it's pointing at 7, then that means it's 7am/pm.

The long hand tells which minute it is. The numbers and space between the numbers on a clock mean five minutes, so if it's pointing at 1, it means (going with our 7am/pm example) it's 7:05. If it's pointing at 2, then another five minutes have passed (7:10) and so on until you reach the 12 again, which means that a new hour has started.

Answer 2

The short hand moves in increments of 1 up to12

The long hand each number 5 times that number (1= 5)
