Understanding Time on a Clock

The video tutorial explains how to determine the time 5 minutes after 1:37 on a clock. It begins by drawing the initial time on a clock face, with the hour hand between 1 and 2 and the minute hand at 37. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate 5 minutes later by counting the minute marks, resulting in a final time of 1:42, which corresponds to answer choice A.
