Explanation:

To determine the time on each clock, we analyze the position of the hour and minute hands:

First Clock (Top)

• Hour Hand: Between 2 and 3, so it is 2 o'clock.
• Minute Hand: On the 50th minute mark (since each number represents 5 minutes, \( 10 \times 5 = 50 \)).

Thus, the time is \( 2:50 \).

Second Clock (Bottom)

• Hour Hand: Between 4 and 5, so it is 4 o'clock.
• Minute Hand: On the 40th minute mark ( \( 8 \times 5 = 40 \) ).

Thus, the time is \( 4:40 \).

Final Times:

• Top Clock: \( \boldsymbol{2:50} \)
• Bottom Clock: \( \boldsymbol{4:40} \)
