Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for complete question
Required
Select the correct options
A clock is divided into two equal parts.
(1) 1 - 6
(2) 7 - 12
<em>When the hour hand is on (1), then the time is "after"</em>
<em>When the hour hand is on (2), then the time is "before"</em>
<em />
From the attached clock, we have:
(1) The hour hand on 9
(2) The minute hand 1 unit above 9 i.e. 46 minutes
(1) implies that, the time is before 9 i.e. past 8
(2) implies that the minutes is (60 - 46) before 9 or 46 minutes after 8
In (1) and (2) above, we have two interpretations.
1: (60 - 46) minutes before 9
This gives:
14 minutes before 9
2: 46 minutes past 8
i.e. 8 : 46
