what time does this clock show?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hour - hand

The shorter hand (hour - hand) is between 1 and 2, so the hour is 1.

Step2: Identify minute - hand

The longer hand (minute - hand) points at 9. Each large division of the minute - hand represents 5 minutes. So 9×5 = 45 minutes.

Answer:

1:45
