Answer

To tell the time on an analog clock, we look at the positions of the hour hand and the minute hand.

  1. The shorter hand is the hour hand. It is pointing directly at the number 3. This means the hour is 3.
  2. The longer hand is the minute hand. It is pointing directly at the number 8. To find the minutes, we multiply the number by 5 (since there are 5 minutes between each number on the clock face). Minutes = 8 × 5 = 40 minutes.

The time shown on the clock is 3:40.
