it is 03:25
No, that is backwards. Many people incorrectly refer to the hour hand as the little hand (and the minute hand as the big hand). That is absolutely 100% wrong. The historical designation of the hands on a clock followed the unit of measure represented by each hand. Since an hour is bigger than a minute the hand indicating the hour of the day is the BIG hand. And since a minute is a smaller unit of time the hand showing the minute of the hour is the LITTLE hand. The original design of analog clocks recognized the difference between an hour and a minute. The hour hand was always shorter and wider (BIGGER) than the minute hand, which was longer and thnner (LITTLE) Function as relates to form or form as relates to function. BIG hand on 5 and LITTLE hand on 3 is 05:15 AM or PM, also known as "zero five-fifteen hours" or "seventeen fifteen hours" depending on AM or PM. The reversal of the BIG and LITTLE meaning is widespread but easily cleared up by understanding their origin relating to the amount of time each represents.
The little hand is the hour hand on a clock, while the big hand is the minutes.
what is the time if the big hand is on 7 and the little hand is between 2 and 3
Ah, let's paint a happy little picture here. When the big hand is on the 5 and the little hand is on the 11, it's 11:05 on a digital clock. Time is just a beautiful reminder to appreciate each moment we have, my friend.
1:30 Wrong. The "LITTLE" hand indicates the minute of the hour and the"BIG" hand indicates the hour of the day (or at least half day - AM/PM). The minute hand is the LITTLE hand because it represents the smaller unit of time when compared to an hour which is indicated by the BIG hand. Granted, the longer hand is longer than the shorter hand but it is was historically always thinner than the hour hand. Thinner = LITTLE And the hour hand was always shorter but fatter than the minute hand. Fatter = BIG The reason they were originally called "BIG" and "LITTLE" was based on the amount of time each represents. Hour is 60 times bigger than minute. Hour is BIG and minute is LITTLE. Hour hand is BIG HAND and minute hand is LITTLE HAND. End of story
Well, isn't that a happy little question! "Quarter to 6" in digital time is 5:45. Just imagine a clock with numbers, and when the big hand is on the 9 and the little hand is on the 12, that's 5:45. Keep painting those time pictures in your mind, and you'll never be late again!
On a clock when the big hand is facing the 11 and the little hand faces the 4, the time is 3:55.
On a clock when the big hand is facing the 6 and the little faces the 5, it would be 5:30.
5 o' clock
By not learning the meaning of the big hand and little hand
The little hand is the hour hand on a clock, while the big hand is the minutes.
In one day, big hand - 24 little hand - 12
The time would be 12:15, either AM or PM, hopefully you can tell which by the Sun.
No. The little hand is the minute hand. The big hand is the hour hand. The long hand is not the big hand, it is the little hand. The short hand is not the little hand, it is the big hand. Grab a dictionary and research the meaning of big, little, short, and long. The shorter hand is the "BIG" hand because it identifies the larger unit of time < hour >. The longer hand it the "LITTLE" hand because it identifies the smaller unit of time <minute>. If you have missed this part of the concept of measuring time then you have been listeniing to a misinformed moron who just taught school for the paycheck and did not understand what they were doing.
It is time to get the hands on the clock realigned!If the little hand is at "3 minutes to 6" then that suggests a time between 5:00 and 5:30 - around 5:24. At that time, the big hand cannot be on 8.
the big hand is the hour hand and the little hand is the minute hand the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is in betweenthe 4 and the 5 hand not cheating have fun:)
So that you can tell the time a bit more accurately. Long ago clocks just had one hand and you could tell the time roughly to the hour. Now we can tell the time to the minute.
got a minute
