1. The problem asks to identify the time shown on the clock. 2. The clock shows both the hour and minute hands pointing exactly at 12. 3. This means the time is exactly 12:00. 4. The two correct answers are "noon" and "12:00" because noon corresponds to 12:00 PM. 5. For the second problem, the clock shows Taj practicing piano at a certain time. Since no specific time is given, we cannot write the exact time or circle a.m. or p.m. 6. For the third problem, two clocks show times 9:15 and 3:15. 7. Writing these times in different ways: - 9:15 can be written as "quarter past nine" or "9:15 a.m./p.m." - 3:15 can be written as "quarter past three" or "3:15 a.m./p.m." No algebraic or graphical function is involved here.
