The idea

On a clock, each number is 5 minutes for the long hand.

1234567891011124:40

Look: Long hand on 8: 40 minutes. Short hand between 4 and 5: still 4 o’clock time. 4:40.

✏️ Your turn!

Type your answer and press Check. Kutty will tell you if it is right.

  1. 1Long hand on 9. How many minutes?

  2. 2What time is 25 minutes after 6:50?

  3. 3Two juices at ₹15 each cost?

! Careful!

  • ✗Writing 3:75.

    ✓An hour has only 60 minutes. 3:75 is really 4:15.

  • ✗Reading 4:40 as 5:40.

    ✓Until the long hand reaches 12, it is still the 4 hour.

On a clock, each number is 5 minutes for the long hand.

Long hand on 8: count 5, 10 … 40. So it is 40 minutes past. For money, add rupees like any numbers. ₹1 = 100 paise.

Think of it like thisCount the long hand in fives, like counting hands of 5 fingers: 5, 10, 15, 20…

Paise
100 paise make ₹1.
