Explanation:

Step1: Understand the number line

The number line represents 60 minutes (from 9:00 to 10:00), so each minute is 1 unit (since 60 units = 60 minutes).

Step2: Determine the position of 9:55

9:55 is 55 minutes after 9:00. On the number line, 60 is 10:00, so 55 is 5 units before 60 (since 60 - 55 = 5). Looking at the labels, 60 is 10:00, 50 is B, 55 is close to 60, so 9:55 (55 minutes) should be near 60, which is the position of C? Wait, no, wait: Wait, the number line has 0 at 9:00, 60 at 10:00. So 55 minutes is 55 on the number line. Let's check the marks: 50 is B, then C is between 50 and 60, closer to 60? Wait, 9:55 is 5 minutes before 10:00, so 60 - 5 = 55. So on the number line, 55 is the position. Looking at the number line, 0 is 9:00, 60 is 10:00. So 55 is 5 units left of 60. The marks: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. So 50 is B, then C is at 55? Wait, the red mark for C is at 55? Wait, the number line: 0 (9:00), then each small tick is 1 minute? Wait, from 0 to 10 is 10 minutes, so each big tick is 10 minutes, and between them, small ticks are 1 minute. So 50 is B, 55 is C? Wait, no, the labels: 9:00 is 0, 10:00 is 60. So 55 minutes is 55 on the number line. So 55 is 5 units before 60. So the position of 55 is C? Wait, let's check the options: A is at around 5, B at 50, C at 55? Wait, the problem: 9:55 is 55 minutes, so on the number line, 55 is the position. So C is at 55? Wait, the number line has 0 (9:00), 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 (10:00). So 50 is B, 55 is C, 60 is 10:00. So 9:55 is 55 minutes, so it's at C? Wait, no, wait: Wait, 9:55 is 5 minutes before 10:00, so 60 - 5 = 55. So on the number line, 55 is the position. So C is at 55, B at 50. So 9:55 is at C? Wait, but let's recheck. Wait, the number line: 0 is 9:00, 60 is 10:00. So 55 minutes is 55 on the number line. So the answer is C? Wait, no, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 9:55 is 55 minutes after 9:00, so on the number line, which is marked from 0 (9:00) to 60 (10:00), so 55 is the position. So looking at the labels, C is at 55, B at 50. So 9:55 is at C.
